5.0 out of 5 stars
A celebration of Black men who are everyday heroes.,
By debpoll@umich.edu (Detroit, Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adam of Ife: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (Lotus Poetry) (Paperback)
This collection fills a void in literature by placing in one volume praisesongs to the many Black men who rarely make the evening news: fathers, brothers, husbands, lovers--heroes who never stopped and who never will abandon their commitment to their women, families and communities. Without hypberole, these sister- poets celebrate the Black men who have graced their lives; in so doing, they provide a welcome opportunity for the rest of us to do the same. Whether I share Adam of Ife' with students or "celebrants" at a funeral, people are genuinely thrilled that such an anthology exists. Naomi Long Madgett is to be commended for editing such a powerful volume.

By A Customer
This review is from: Adam of Ife: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (Lotus Poetry) (Paperback)
I stumbled upon this book while searching for another anthology. This book is outstanding! It's like a breath of fresh air on a topic that has received more heat than light. I'm tempted to buy another copy!
