Description
A powerful collection of poetry and prose, this book gathers vivid fragments of Black life, womanhood, love, violence, and survival into a richly textured whole. Across four sections and thirty-two pieces, the writing moves between intimate reflection and sharp social observation, confronting destruction while celebrating resilience, tenderness, and communal strength. Sonia Sanchez’s distinctive lyricism—compressed, rhythmic, and emotionally direct—creates a work that is both politically incisive and deeply personal.
