Shake Loose My Skin: New and Selected Poems
| Author | Sonia Sanchez |
| ISBN | 0807068535 |
This didn't really work for me. There is a lot of rich imagery, sexual and earthy, but it felt like it was written for the sake of the imagery, and if you asked her what the poem meant after she wrote it, she'd have to make it up on the spot, because it didn't mean anything when she wrote it, it just sounded cool....

Well, I don't like this kind of poetry!
Surely there are some really good lines that I liked and quoted, but I didn't like most of the poems! They were kinda weak and prosaic - nothing special!.

Detroit: I Do Mind Dying: A Study in Urban Revolution

This book is excellently written, bringing the reader into a high-point of movement...
