I celebrated last year's Black History Month by exploring poetry authored by Black folks, and cobbled together a list of 17 books of poetry: https://books.josh.tel/list/2/s/black-poets
There are many gems in that list.
But if you can only get one, get Black Nature: https://bookshop.org/p/books/black-nature-four-centuries-of-african-american-nature-poetry-camille-t-dungy/12163161
It's an anthology by Camille T. Dungy covering more than four centuries of nature poetry, and it's one I come back to time and time again.
