"Nothing short of sublime, and the territory [Mans'] explores...couldn't be more necessary."--Vogue

From spoken word poet, Jasmine Mans comes an unforgettable poetry collection about race, feminism, and queer identity. With echoes of Gwendolyn Brooks and Sonia Sanchez, Mans writes to call herself--and us--home. Each poem explores what it means to be a daughter of Newark, and America--and 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.

This book pulled at some heartstrings. It also reminded me how much I enjoy every form of art. I absolutely loved how the poems portrayed every day life as a POC by the struggles we encounter with family and society.
