For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf by Ntozake Shange

fast-paced

5.0

5⭐️ Beautiful collection of poetry. Tells a series of heartbreaking stories and songs of recovering ones wellness after tragedy. This book is beautiful. Better if listened to the poems. Reading it was hard for me because of the writing style is shorthand and doesn’t utilize punctuation. It is also written to be a play. Watch For Colored Girls directed by Tyler Perry to get beautiful recitations of this book. Also Youtube has a remix of it by BAND Gallery. I recommend reading/listening with a book club to discuss the meanings of the poems. Wonderful work!
