This review is from: Three Pieces (Paperback)

With for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, Ntozake Shange emerged a a formidable voice in the American theater. In these three plys, she brilliantly recasts traditional forms to capture the essenses of the lives of black people: Spell #7 is a black magic and variety show; A Photograph: Lovers in Motion, a sensual melodrama of intersecting lives and loves; and Boogie Woogie Landscapes, a stream of consciousness verse play.
