There's about a third, I'd say, of this book that leans super heavily on "democracy! we can change things from inside!" that I found a bit trying, especially given the Current Situation and the Situation We Just Went Through but it's a collection of essays so I was very happy I stuck through those for the wider voices. The balance of voices was very broad, and in particular I found the essays about living with grief as well as the poems interspersed brought something I haven't seen much of before.
