Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From its inception in 1974 to its critical success on Broadway, this work has excited and inspired audiences all over the country. Passionate and fearless, Shange's words reveal what it means to be of color and female in the 20th century. Here is the complete text, with stage directions, of a groundbreaking dramatic prose poem written in vivid and powerful language that resonates with unusual beauty in its fierce message to the world.

Review:

The New York TimesExtraordinary and wonderful...Ntozake Shange writes with such exquisite care and beauty that anyone can relate to her message.

Review:

Allan WallachNewsdayPassionate and lyrical....In poetry and prose Shange describes what it means to be a black woman in a world of mean streets, deceitful men and aching loss.

Review:

Martin GottfriedNew York PostThese poems and prose selections are...rich with the author's special voice: by turns bitter, funny, ironic, and savage; fiercely honest and personal.

Review:

Toni Cade BambaraMs. MagazineCelebrates the capacity to master pain and betrayals with wit, sister-sharing, reckless daring, and flight and forgetfulness if necessary. She celebrates most of all women's loyalties to women.
