I love how the Bridge poem manages to inject a little bit of amount of humor into the anger of the first part (34 individual white people!) and then is able to turn the metaphor of being walked over into a symbol of her determination to strengthen and reconnect herself.

As I was reading I thought I had so much to say, but gradually I realized that it was mostly about specific details affecting me in specifically personal ways, and that the only way I could generalize enough to produce an actual review was to just quote enormous chunks of the book and say "Just read it!" Which is still not a review!
