I would recommend this collection to fans of Hanif Abdurraqib's 'A Fortune for Your Disaster' or Morgan Parker's 'Magical Negro'. This is a collection to read and reread because each time you will pick up on a different meaning or interpretation of each piece. A Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Oprah Magazine Time Vogue Vulture Essence Elle Cosmopolitan Real Simple Marie Claire Refinery 29 Shondaland Pop Sugar Bustle Readers Digest Nothing short of sublime, and the territory Mans uldn’t be more necessary. Mans touches on police brutality, being black in America, being a Black girl in America, being a Black lesbian girl in America, Black family life, pop culture, hip hop, Louisiana roots, rape culture, and so much more. So many themes ran through this work and they all resonated on a different level. This collection has something for every one. My favorite pieces included but are not limited to 'The Light', 'Footnotes to Kanye', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Kill That Nigga Dead', 'Sandra's Haiku', 'Missing Girls', and 'You Took Sundays'. This collection was like a good pot of gumbo - there was a little bit of everything mixed up in this work and each bite was delicious with a new flavor. From spoken word poet Jasmine Mans comes an unforgettable poetry collection about race, feminism. Black Girl, Call Home is a love letter to the wandering Black girl and a vital companion to any woman on. 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. There was a slow burning build up to each new piece. Black Girl, Call Home by Jasmine Mans available in Trade Paperback on, also read synopsis and reviews. With echoes of Gwendolyn Brooks and Sonia Sanchez, Mans writes to call herself-and us-home. Jasmine Mans 'Black Girl, Call Home' is a stunning, powerful collection of poetry.
