Sing a Black Girl’s Song by Ntozake Shange
Ntozake Shange, author of the seminal for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, was one of our greatest writers, and this collection, curated by editor Imani Perry, is a feast for those who have loved her work and love the literary word. Sing a Black Girl’s Song collects essays, poetry, and plays taken from handwritten manuscripts throughout her life. Her essays are poetry, her poems songs, and all read with immediate, beautiful power, marking her loss but celebrating the wealth we can still enjoy.
