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

3.0

I started to get into the flow of what this poem/play is doing in the last third or so, and I appreciated it a lot more from that point forward. I think if I reread the whole thing I would probably "understand" it more, having grown accustomed to its style and themes. But I also think this probably works 150% better onstage, and I would be interested in seeing it performed to get the full impact.
