celestially_yours's review against another edition
4.0
Attention readers and writers alike-this book is absolutely necessary to have in your library. The introduction is well written and gives you a description on what you can expect from the rest of the book. The chapters have very “catchy” but accurate titles that made me smile. This is an anthology of essays;which again peaked my interest. (an Anthology is always a good thing)
The book also references lots of great published works by Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, and Shakespeare to name a few.
One of my favorite sections of the books was called In Abiding Metaphors and Finding a Calling. This really pointed out all the things about reading and word flow that I love while reading. All in all this is such a great idea and kudos to all the contributors and the editor Jericho Brown. You can find essays in the book by Tayari Jones, Daniel Omotosho Black, and Jacqueline Woodson, and so many others.
Thank you for such an amazing read!
