There are indeed opened "closets of rage" in Veronica, including a harrowing passage ("Broken English") where the poem's language breaks down into shards of gasped syllables, recalling Eric Garner's agonized "I can't breathe" before his death at the hands of a police officer in 2014: re / inserting / re /beating / and re- / suffocating / the b-b-b / b-b-b / b-b-b-b / reathing / grieving / bulleted body / on repeat […] "Broken English" is a "Lamentation—a chorale," one part of the book's relentless and uncomfortable focus on the non-white victims of our contemporary police state: "day after day the bodies pile up / — must be friends with the wrong police —"; Veronica is, however, by no means a one-note howl of anguish or grief at what Langston Hughes called the "dream deferred" (to which Hunt nods in one of her section titles), but a subtle and often lyrically melodic meditation on what it means to be Black in a nation where one's neighbors speak "in concealed carry," what it means to be a woman, and what it means to be an American in general.
