Homegirls and Handgrenades

by Sonia Sanchez

Homegirls and Handgrenades Cover

 

Staff Pick

Winner of the American Book Award, Homegirls and Handgrenades is strong, heroic, and deeply moving. The poems, ranging from haiku to fairly traditional free verse to longish story-like poems, are devastating. They speak of drugs and loyalty, politics and love, in a way that few books do. Read this marvelous book; cherish it. Make it a part of you. It's that kind of book.
