For #BlackPoetryDay, we're reading this stunning collection by Natasha Trethewey, a United States Poet Laureate. In "Thrall", Trethewey explores prevalent attitudes towards mixed-race people though historical and personal anecdotes. We had the chance to hear her at the Decatur Book Festival this year and she is a beautiful speaker as well. #thereadingwomen
