We Want Our Bodies Back: Poems
by jessica Care moore
challenging
fast-paced
Wow. The way in which these poems discussing OUR BODIES... Were PHENOMENAL! I felt that this collection met Maya and was introduced to Simone, had coffee with Dianna Ross, and had a meal with the Black Panthers, and planned to get Asata out of jail. I felt so many emotions goodness, sadness, angry, and grateful as hell to be a Black woman.
I wish I had the physical copy so I could have taken notes while reading. So many of the poems discussed what it's like to be a human with a vagina and what it is like to be a black woman. There were so many lines that spoke venom and brought you back to life. I found the last line of most of the poems in the collection to be so FUCKING DOPE! (SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT).
I think I lost my ability to snap my fingers while reading this collection of peoms! Yass. My absolute favorite parts of a few poems were when black women and indigenous women's experiences were shared and explored.
