Review: A universe of poems in miniature scale. - This book of poems (mostly micropoems) and prose poetry is utterly breathtaking. I read it in a single sitting and wanted to read it again and again. nayyirah waheed has taken the unique experience of being an African-American woman and written poems that cut incredibly close to the bone as a mixed Asian-American poet. The grief of diaspora and nonbelonging, the raw open softness of pain, the crystal clarity of the words, hurts like prodding a bruise I carry. And then the next poem is a soft wash of ocean water reminding me that healing in a violent world is a radical act and the lancing of the wound is the beginning of healing from the pain and transforming it before it goes septic in the heart. What has been done with such tiny poems is breathtaking. They are whole cosmos exploding with meaning. Every poet interested in the micropoem form should read this refined, intense collection, which reflects topics as diverse as racism, childhood abandonment, bisexuality, gender, African-American identity, trauma and healing, writing, and love poems, all kinds of love, both bitter salt and honey sweet. It is one of the most accomplished collections I've ever read, far more than much of the collections by authors far more famous. At any price it is a masterclass lesson in form, as well as a deeply moving series of intimate essays. It's not easy. It's not spoon-fed. It is incredibly beautiful and will challenge non black readers, while also offering catharsis to some people of color, especially black women. I haven't been this impressed with a poetry collection in a long time. I can't wait to see what is next from waheed and her poetry.
Review: Nayyirah Waheed is a literary magician - I cannot recommend this work enough. Nayyirah Waheed is a literary magician whose concise and incisive poems simultaneously touch the heart, soul, and mind in ways that heal, wake up, and inspire. All at once profound, authentic, and stunningly beautiful, her poems are also very accessible. Nayyirah Waheed seems to recognize that poetry is not so much about fancy word choice as it is about speaking from the heart, and she articulates what her heart beats without pretension or ostentation, though her words and creativity are undoubtedly thought provoking, soul stirring, and totally compelling...they will have you returning to the bookshelf over and over again to visit them and to share them with others. Absolutely brilliant. I love "salt" and am grateful to Nayyirah Waheed for sharing her gift with the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Salt Is Gritty Yet Beautiful
*by E***N on October 27, 2014*

At first the style seems odd... but as I was reading I suddenly had this realization. The words speak to you and resonate with your soul. The way she writes is different, but that's what makes it so true. Each poem makes you lose your breath at the sheer wonder of it. They are so simple, yet so powerful. Each word is like a blade going into your heart. It makes you feel, think, and ponder life. Whenever I'm sad or angry or even anxious, I read this book and the words seem to calm me... make me feel as if nothing else in the world matters, just the words she writes.. the story that she's telling. I read this book to relax while listening to music and it never fails to help me when I'm stressed. I love this book and will continue to read it. I recommend Salt to anyone who wants to read something moving because it will surely leave a mark on you whether you read it once or a thousand times.
