“Only a poet with an innocent heart can exorcise so much pain with so much beauty."
In a style that is hers alone, Sanchez brings poetry and politics together into a book whose whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. Some of the poems are plaintive, others militant, but all are significant, brilliant and original.
Sonia Sanchez is a poet, activist, and scholar and one of the most important writers of the Black Arts Movement. She is the author of sixteen books and lives in Philadelphia
