A fascinating treasure trove of Shange's work in poetry, plays, and essays. This is more for her fans but there is also wisdom in her works.

This unpublished works is a beautiful collection of essays, plays, and poems. These original pieces showcase not only her talent but glimpses into the many facets of her being. As her nvolvement in the Black liberation movement grew, it begin to take shape in her work, the Black diasporic culture was evidentin her early work. While reading along, Untitled #11 spoke to me as I've always said a sense of humor is required to navigate this world. I think many of us are familiar with her work "For Colored Girls." In addition to her transparency regarding her own mental health issues. I truly enjoyed reading these works and appreciated that theefforts to allow them to remain as unchanged as possible.

This was a beautiful collection of poetry and prose by Ntozake Shange. In this collection of Ntozake’s unpublished works there are different parts that cover different aspects and experiences of Ntozake’s life. In some parts I saw what impacted her as a woman of color and the struggles she faced. I’m other parts of the book I got to see particular experiences and how different people guided her experiences.
This body of work was quite enlightening, informative and engrossing. As a black woman I appreciated looking at the world through Ntozake’s eyes.

Thank you Grand Central Publishing for this arc for an honest review.
