## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by A***N on March 10, 2015*

I received the item in a timely manner as described.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spoken word artists must peep this...
*by T***S on October 8, 2004*

NAPPY EDGES by Ntozake Shange is a collection of poetry written during theSeventies on a myriad of issues in the poet's trademark style.  Shange createsa rhythm that leaps from the page and lyrically dances around the room.  Thewords beg to be spoken aloud, and the emotions implore you to feel them.Shange's message is often pro-woman as she deftly builds phrases thatsometimes seem unrelated to form a heavy lesson.  Also included in thiscollection is a speech that she gave to a conference in which she discussed thepoet's right to individual expression.  She challenges readers to know theirpoets and to know what their individual sound or flow is like.It's hard for me to pick one favorite poem from this compilation.  Each poemspeaks to a different place and a different time.  Nonetheless, this is avolume of poetry that needs to be on the shelves of all verse lovers and onthe lips of all those who strive to express themselves lyrically.Reviewed by Diane Marburyof The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite book in the entire world
*by T***S on January 19, 2000*

Ntozake Shange is a genius, a goddess, but above all else, a poet. This book revolutionized the way I viewed poetry.  As she says, "A poem shd fill you up with something/ make you swoon, change yr mind or make it up/a  poem shd happen to you like cold water or a kiss." My favorite poems  in here are "Advice," "Between a Dancer and a Poet,"  and "An Invitation to My Friends."  She makes connections between  music and poetry and I came away (never really away- the book is always in  my soul) with new spirit and passion that was inside me all along, but then  it resonated, "Yes, yes, yes."
