I'm not going to lie and pretend like I immediately understood every poem in this collection. In fact, there were some that I'm still not sure I really get even with the super helpful outros that followed every poem. But in my experience, that's kind of the nature of poetry. Sometimes I just don't get it, and these poems deriving from the Black experience, which I clearly do not have, left me with even less inherent understanding overall. But every poem in this collection was followed by a short explanation, so even when I didn't know what event the poem was referencing or drawing inspiration from while reading the poem, I still got that insight in the end.

Reading Picnic in Someday Valley was like I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. This is my honest review.
Reading Picnic in Someday Valley was like reading a soap opera. The story rotated through perspectives and relationships, always leaving me hanging wanting just a little bit more from the current perspective. A part of me would have preferred fewer perspectives and relationships so I could get more in depth with them, but the lives are so intertwined in this small valley that I would've been missing information had the story been told that way.
