Kathy Lou Schultz’s Introduction to Claudia Rankine provides the first book-length introduction to this vitally important poet. Written for scholars, poets, students, and general readers, Schultz’s book outlines Rankine’s poetic career in all its major facets, including an analysis of Rankine’s seminal book, Citizen. Rankine’s poetry, writes Schultz, gives voice to the “unspeakable wounds” and trauma of race in America. Schultz places Rankine’s poetry in the context of the poet’s life, her works in other genres, and our challenging political moment.
