Black Girl, Call Home

Praise for Black Girl, Call Home:

"This book is a haven for all the black daughters out there, hoping to make sense of the power and powerlessness in their bodies, the connection to others' bodies, and the moments of everyday life that comprise so much of our identities."--NYT bestselling author Morgan Jerkins

"Here be poems that explore the lush interiors of black queer womanhood and extent that particular and wonderful love to Black girls and boys in verses of justice, mourning, wonder and glory. Mans takes up the tools of Brooks and Sanchez into her good hands and chisels us an urgent and grand work, proving why she's the favorite poet of all the girls in the back of the bus."--Danez Smith, author of National Book Award finalist for poetry Don't Call Us Dead

"Each poem is a meditation on a moment, a memory, and a history that guides the reader through the experience of Black womanhood in a way I've not experienced before. These poems both explode and glimmer on the page. They demand to be read, to be shared, to be revisited time and time again."--Clint Smith, author of NAACP Image Award finalist Counting Descent
