An inspirational keepsake from the multiple award-winning writer and activist

Dynamic and legendary, poet and activist Sonia Sanchez is one of the most esteemed poets in contemporary American literature. Now for her fans and new readers alike comes this giftable quote book, containing some of her most powerful writing from her previously published volumes and in an attractive, paper-over-board package.

With nearly 40 verses and quotations, this collection explores themes of love, resistance, and social justice. Sample excerpts include:

On love: "your hands/humming hurricanes of beauty."

On resistance: "I write to keep in contact with our ancestors and to spread truth to people."

On social justice: "...if we the people work, organize, resist,
come together for peace, racial, social
and sexual justice
it'll get better
it'll get better."

A prominent member of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and a pioneer in education, Sanchez's career has spanned decades, spawned more than 20 books and countless other writings, with Sanchez herself receiving numerous accolades and awards. Carefully selected to inspire, and perfect for casual reading and contemplation, this is the ideal gift for fans and new readers alike.
