Review:

Douglas Watt

"New York Daily News"

Overwhelming...It's joyous and alive, affirmative in the face of despair.

"The New York Times"

Extraordinary and wonderful...Ntozake Shange writes with such exquisite care and beauty that anyone can relate to her message.

Allan Wallach

"Newsday"

Passionate and lyrical....In poetry and prose Shange describes what it means to be a black woman in a world of mean streets, deceitful men and aching loss.

Martin Gottfried

"New York Post"

These poems and prose selections are...rich with the author's special voice: by turns bitter, funny, ironic, and savage; fiercely honest and personal.

Toni Cade Bambara

"Ms." Magazine

Celebrates the capacity to master pain and betrayals with wit, sister-sharing, reckless daring, and flight and forgetfulness if necessary. She celebrates most of all women's loyalties to women.
