Review:Daley-Ward's words are exquisite. It's like having your favorite chocolate bar melt in your mouth. I couldn't put it down until it was done. She is a masterful storyteller with great imagery, who knows how to make words dance on the page. At the same time, everything she writes is so breathtakingly honest, and feels so relatable. So human. As if the person who wrote this could be my best friend, or the woman sitting next to me on the train. Her work is nothing short of genius and deserves more ... Read more

Review:My favorite ones are Conversations About Home and Ugly. Warsan Shire has the most amazing way of expressing the beauty of desperate pain and agony. Breast cancer, rape, war, displacement, belonging, she muses the pains that mothers and daughters feel in such a breathtaking flow of language. Read more

Review:I always say, poetry is extremely subjective and hard to review, as it will touch each and every reader in a completely unique way. Not every collection or poet will strike the right note with every reader, and this ended up being the case for me with these poems. This was one of those situations where I could appreciate the talent of the author, but the topics and their presentation were just not for me. However, despite my personal experience with these poems, I can easily see how they could d... Read more

Review:They say that "Go Tell It on the Mountain" is the book that James Baldwin had to right before he could right anything else. Like Job, Baldwin bears witness to the struggles of everyday African Americans in the era of Jim Crow.

In this particular novel, he looks at the effects from a number of different viewpoints, whether as a man struggling to find his identity in New York City, or a woman who was raped by a group of white men in the South.

The book meanders between reality and re... Read more

Review:I thought this was a story, but it’s just poems. It’s more of a single persons view on her personal experiences with men. Missing punctuation. Some good poems. Some poems were a page & others were literally one sentence. I don’t think it was worth the price. Not a horrible book, just ok. Read more

Review:I fell in love with this author when I watched him tel his story on a Facebook video. I was so in love that I bought his book without any hesitation. Now, I am heart broken because I’ve already finished reading the book that sounds almost like my life story. If I had to write my thoughts, it would probably be this. The shortest $12 book I’ve ever bought, but every word is priceless.

Review:Intertwined families struggle in the post Civil War era, during a time when many emancipated slaves continue to experience torturous and hateful ordeals. It’s a good read which neatly represents that all whites were not mean and that with faith and family, difficult challenges can be overcome. Read more

Review:This is a book about abortion. Narration is by The Mothers from a church in Oceanside, California. It tells about two young women, Nadia Turner, and Aubrey, and a young man named Luke who is the son of the pastor. Both Nadia and Aubrey are motherless, both are affected by the abortion that happens when they are teens. An interesting concept for a novel set in the African American community of Oceanside. Well-written, fast-paced, and not overly long at 275 pp, for me it was a thought-provoking re... Read more
