A review by apollos_books
Black Women Writers at Work by Claudia Tate

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

i am a better writer, scholar, and participant in society after having read this book. such an astonishing collection of mediations on not just writing, but society and LIFE from some of the greatest minds of human history. there is such an incredible RANGE of voices here - each writer had something unique and personal to offer. my copy is now densely annotated and i am continuing to copy quotes and journal about them. i did not expect to feel so emotional after almost every interview, but this book really gave me something (multiple things really) that i deeply deeply needed. this book is now near and dear to my heart. i will be revisiting and referencing it for many many years to come. 

thank you SOOO much to haymarket for bringing this back in print. i simply cannot believe it was unavailable for so long.
