Descriere magazin:
Description In the tradition of Alice Walker, this electrifying new African
American voice delivers the verdict on the urban condition in a sensual, propulsive, and prophetic book of poetry and prose. Whether she is writing about an enraged teenager gone "wilding" in Central Park, fifteen-year-old Latasha Harlins gunned down by a Korean grocer, or a brutalized child who grows up to escape her probable fate through the miracle of art,
Sapphire\'s vision in this collection of poetry and prose is unswervingly honest. "Stunning . . . . One of the strongest debut collections of the \'90s."-- Publishers Weekly About the Author
Sapphire is the author of
American Dreams , a collection of poetry which was cited by Publishers Weekly as, "One of the strongest debut collections of the nineties." Push , her novel, won the Book-of-the-Month Club Stephen Crane award for First Fiction, the Black Caucus of the
American Library Association\'s First Novelist Award, and, in Great Britain, the Mind Book of the Year Award. Push was named by the Village Voice and Time Out New York as one of the top ten books of 1996. Push was nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding Literary Work of Fiction. About her most recent book of poetry Poet\'s and Writer\'s Magazine wrote, "With her soul on the line in each verse, her latest collection, Black Wings & Blind Angels , retains
Sapphire\'s incendiary power to win hearts and singe minds." Sapphire\'s work has appeared in The New Yorker , The New York Times Magazine , The New York Times Book Review , The Black Scholar , Spin , and Bomb . In February of 2007 Arizona State University presented PUSHing Boundaries, PUSHing Art: A Symposium on the Works of Sapphire .
