Black Ink: Literary Legends on the Peril, Power, and Pleasure of Reading and Writing by Stephanie Stokes Oliver

5.0

Phenomenal. Stephanie Stokes Oliver has gathered an incredible group of voices in this collection. Some of these excerpts were familiar to me and I was glad for the chance to return to them, while it also awakened me to stories and voices that I had not yet known. She takes us on a journey through time which gives powerful context to the voices old and new in the canon of black writing. I am deeply grateful for this collection which I know I will return to many times.
