Black Girl, Call Home
by Jasmine Mans

inspiring
reflective
A beautiful and vivid collection of poetry in which Mans explores the intricacies of her identity. She navigates the intersections of her various identity labels - woman, black, queer, daughter and more - offering insights into how each label has individually and collectively influenced her experiences and shaped her worldview. It provides a mirror in which readers are able to see themselves, even when their identities may not match perfectly to Mans’s. She weaves together childhood memories, cultural phenomena, politics, and personal experiences to create a collection that is at once nostalgic, funny, educational, and ultimately emotional.
