Poem: “N’em,” by Jericho Brown

At Sisterhood, we read a poem out of a book titled, “The New Testament,” by Jericho Brown.

The poem, “N’em,” stood out to me being able to relate to the black traditions; it talked about how things used to be and how things are often forgotten.

Being able to understand this poem and relate to me really grabbed my attention. It’s not often that people make poems for Black Peoples and Black Traditions.  Everything said in the poem was understandable and easy to read.

I enjoyed this poem and took it into consideration.
