Please recommend some BIPOC poetry books/collections for me to pick up bc honestly approaching & attempting poetry/verse intimidates tf out of me even though most of my writer friends are poets & prose is the doughnut floaty that keeps me safe in these literary waters

Meta is a great performer and poet! Seen him live in Vegas twice. One of my favorite poets from the islands. He presented one of his best poems at a TEDx talk he gave here: https://youtu.be/fNa5KM31iL4 pic.twitter.com/W9p2GLEnCx

He talks about growing up as a Filipino settler on Guam and explores many other themes (toxic masculinity, classism, etc) in his works. And he got a SICK flow when he raps!!
