I truly loved Patriot and Prisoner and Praying for Sons. I also liked Remains, Gabriel Casts a Knuckle, A Recipe for Sons, #Sandyspeaks Is a Choral Refrain and all the historical summaries of the women included in the book.

These poems and the introduction to each poem are more little packets of history than anything. Introduced me to many historical figures and some modern ones, all black women (per the title). Definitely worth reading though less for the poetry than the history imparted.
