The Postcards I Never Sent

In The Postcards I Never Sent, Patterson journeys through stories of love, grief, accountability, and redemption. This collection is Black girl healing. This collection boldly spotlights a broken heart and the trek one must take to mend it. This collection is proof that there is no running away from what hurts. Patterson' s ability to tackle the hardships in family, race, and marriage displays a strong vulnerability that is essential in poetry. It is an honest, comforting, and necessary read.— Ari B. Cofer
