βNothing short of sublime, and the territory [Mans'] explores...couldnβt be more necessary.ββVogue
From spoken word poet Jasmine Mans comes an unforgettable poetry collection about race, feminism, and queer identity.
Β
With echoes of Gwendolyn Brooks and Sonia Sanchez, Mans writes to call herselfβand usβhome. Each poem explores what it means to be a daughter of Newark, and Americaβand the painful, joyous path to adulthood as a young, queer Black woman.
Black Girl, Call Home is a love letter to the wandering Black girl and a vital companion to any woman on a journey to find truth, belonging, and healing.
