Although The Change by Tony Hoagland was published in 2003, it could have very well been written today. With the advancement of Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement which sought to stop the apparent police brutality and prejudice against African-Americans and other people of color, it would appear that the United States still needs to be constantly reminded of the issues of race in the country. The Change deals precisely with the rude awakening that racism continues to persist to this day, that it did not end in 1863 with the freeing of the slaves.
Hoagland opens the poem with bright, colorful visuals— the turning of the pages of glossy fashion magazines is likened to the changing of the times or seasons. It is interesting that the author made use of the simile as fashion magazines mostly display outlandish ensembles that standout against everyday wear; such garb would look absurd and distasteful to those who are not fashion-forward.
