Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

We are color struck

The way an artist strikes

His canvas with his brush of many hues

Look closely at these mirrors

these palettes of skin

Each color is rich

in its own right

Black is dazzling and distinctive, like toasted wheat berry bread; snowberries in the fall; rich, red cranberries; and the bronzed last leaves of summer. In this lyrical and luminous collection, Coretta Scott King honorees Joyce Carol Thomas and Floyd Cooper celebrate these many shades of black beautifully.

Synopsis:

Two Coretta Scott King Honorees celebrate the many shades of black in this lyrical and illuminating collection of poems, including "Golden Goodness," "Cranberry Red," and "Biscuit Brown." Full color.

I only read a couple poems that I came upon online and I loved Joyce Carol Thomas's poetry instantly. Her pride of African American poetry is prominent and each poem sends a profound but sweet message to the readers. I would absolutely recommend this book. The illustrations are superb, too.
