Format:Paperback
Ntozake Shange's "For Colored girls..." is a gripping collection of poems about life, love, pain and hope that will tell YOUR story if you can't find the words. I have had the honor to read and perform this treasure of poems many times and I still can't get enough of it. It will take any reader on a trip into understanding, sisterhood and hope, as well as letting them know that they are not alone. This book is truly for ALL girls who have "considered suicide" when the world was too much, but decided on LIFE.

On 4/17/99 I was privileged to see a production of Ms. Shange's opus at Manhattanville College, bringing to life the lyrical intensity of her poetry. Though I read it while I was in college, seeing it live imbued it with greater meaning and helped me to gain true respect for the writer's extraordinary insight.

This book is about African American women, but it would be helpful to women of any race. It adresses problems from everyday life. It shows how different ethnic backgrounds view men and their dreams.The story shows ups and downs of the author's life. It also shows how women can keep on striving and keep their goals in sight. Read this book for your own good, and for your own insight into life. You will find that you are not the only one who has survived certain unhappy situations.

ntozake - a woman who comes with her own things
Even though I did not share the experience of the characters, the language was so alive that I yearned to climb into their skins and burst onto the stage. The poetry was real. Read more

This book really hit home and gave me a feeling of empathy.
Shange's book voiced many of the feelings that I have experienced, especially the poem by the lady in red on page 13-14. Read more
