An exploration of the pain, self-doubt, and anger that emerge in women’s lives, from a leading writer of the Black Arts Movement and the American Poetry Society’s 2018 Wallace Stevens Award–winner.
Renowned African-American poet Sonia Sanchez writes of an unfaithful life partner, a brutal rape, the murder of a woman by her granddaughter, the ravages of drugs. Sanchez transforms the unspoken and sometimes violent betrayals of our lives into a liberating vision of connection in emotional redemption, compassion, and self-fulfillment.
