"I discovered this book of poetry in 1978 and carried it in my purse (pages dogeared) for over ten years. It hasn’t been easy to find the 40 copies I’ve gifted to just about every young woman I’ve met. It includes pieces and poems of race, love, loneliness and violence against women, and the very being of women, written from Ntozakes’ very heart-filled and heartbreaking clear view of her body, her life and the world. The entries “No Gust of Wind” and “Every 3 Minutes” = Bible."

I've read some slow burns that have irritated me no end because nothing seems to happen until the twist but this isn't the case here, there's always something new to learn and it made the book difficult to put down. There were twists that I never saw coming and although by the time we learn who the body is it isn't so much of a shock anymore, there are still surprises to come.
