A Place Inside of Me: A Poem to Heal the Heart
This powerful sonnet follows a Black youngster as they measure feelings following a misfortune and discover reestablishment in local area activity.
the child ultimately concludes, “I am in love with/ my people/ all people,” and determines to “love myself/ most of all.” Denmon’s textured, dynamic illustrations situate a compassionate community among murals of flowers and vines. The characters’ varying ages, cultures, skin tones, features, and personal styles reflect a diversity of Black experiences, notably in a spread that portrays Black visionaries through the ages (including BeyoncĂ©, Maya Angelou, Malcolm X, and Louis Armstrong). Resonant exultation of community and the importance of self-reflection.
