Still Can't Do My Daughter's Hair by William Evans

Still Can't Do My Daughter's Hair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was expecting that this book contains poems about a father and daughter relationship, but I think I was misled because of the title. This poetry book by William Evans recounts his experiences growing up as a Black American, thus racism and oppression is the theme of some of the verses. The poems are a mix of different emotions such as strong indignation and hurt, albeit there are a few poems in the end that tell about his love for his family.
