Excellent Poetry The book is described as: its inspiration and concept from the cult classic film The Wiz to explore a Black womanâs journey out of the South Side of Chicago and into adulthood. And it delivers!
Do not sleep on this collection Dr. Byas has a way with wordsâ this much is clear. However, it is her distinctively punchy personality and harrowing honesty that make this collection a true must-read. Prepare yourselves: Byas sets the bar high. You will expect SO much more from poetry after you see what this collection achieves!
Vulnerable and beautiful poetry collection 4 âï¸ One of the best poetry collections Iâve had the pleasure of reading. This is a personal, vulnerable, and intimate collection of poetry depicting the authorâs experiences growing up in the South Side of Chicago as a Black woman. It explores everything from a Wendyâs drive thru to sex to the authorâs relationship with God and everything in between. Listening to the audiobook has the bonus treasure of being read by the author herself, adding another layer of meaning to an already meaningful collection.Thank you to #NetGalley, HighBridge Audio, and Taylor Byas for the ARC!
