RECOMMENDED READING | BLACK GIRL CALL HOME BY JASMINE MANS

poetry for black women

Hello everyone, I'm Drea and it's come to my attention that I may or may not have an addiction. See, I grab for nearly every beautiful book cover I see and have no shame about it. Especially beautiful book covers featuring brown girls with natural hair. Could I be acquiring all of these books at lightning speed to make up for the ones I needed growing up but didn't have? Perhaps. Either way, I love them and I'm gonna stick beside them.


What's the most beautiful book cover you have on your shelf right now? I went with Black Girl, Call Home today because this baby here is beautiful inside and out. The poetry within these pages moved me to + through ALL THE FEELINGS last year. Covering topics of race, feminism, and queer identity, Jasmine Mans reminded the wanderer in me how much childhood shapes us, how much trauma scars us, and how those scars do heal, eventually. Have you read this one, yet?
