Sinopse

When I think of the kind of writing that really moves me, I think of the elements present in BennettâÇÖs poetry: honesty about Black womenâÇÖs interior lives, clarity (because we donâÇÖt have time to talkáaroundáa thing), and a mean metaphor. Amanda Bennett has written a poetry collection squarely rooted in the legacy of Black feminists like Audre Lorde, Lucille Clifton, and June Jordan: this is my favorite kind of poetry. Theáfeelingápresent in these poems welcomes you in to experience the world as the writer does, where 'black is a place we carry' and 'difficult women are like dynamite.'áWorking the Rootsáis a book everyone should read, if for no other reason than we all need a little vulnerability to survive this world, and each other.á-Ariana Brown, author ofáWe Are Owed.
