This book is a collection of photographs of African-Americans. Ntozake Shange has written a free-verse response to each each photo. The photos are moving and expressive on their own,and the book would be wonderful if it were simply the beautiful faces. But Ms. Shange's words evoke worlds of emotion, memories, and contemplation. Enjoy the book the first time without reading her musings. Then start over and read for a whole new experience. I'll bet you come back and buy a couple more copies to share with friends like I did.
