I really loved this book! her poems made out in memory of different great artists shows her close appreciation for the culture she grew up around while always keeping a woman's perspective and voice.

I received this from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Such a good collection. It is biting, honest, and such beautiful wordplay. It is extremely evocative and so relevant to today's world. Can't wait to read more! Highly recommended, especially for fans of hip hop.

Clever as hell, with rhymes that twist and turn and expertly pivot between hard and soft, and always end up being much more than what meets the eye (“light privilege” is a whole world on its own)!

This slim volume is mighty, but you don't need me to tell you that. Do yourself a favor and listen to Chinaka read her own words. Her contribution to the OMCA exhibit All Power to the People: Black Panthers at 50 had me panting for more. These poems can be hard to read as a woman, as a newer Oakland resident, as an American. They're also brimming with music, humor, sex. Who's first in line to borrow my copy?
