From award-winning author Zetta Elliott comes a stirring and powerful
poetry collection that reveals the beauty, danger, and magic found at
the intersection of race and gender.
Inspired by the #SayHerName campaign launched by the African American
Policy Forum, these poems pay tribute to victims of police brutality as
well as the activists insisting that Black Lives Matter. Elliott engages
poets from the past two centuries to create a chorus of voices
celebrating the creativity, resilience, and courage of Black women and
girls.
This collection features forty-nine powerful poems, four of which are
tribute poems inspired by the works of Lucille Clifton, Audre Lorde,
Nikki Giovanni, and Phillis Wheatley. This provocative collection will
move every reader to reflect, respond-and act.
