Shake Loose My Skin: New and Selected Poems
| Author | Sonia Sanchez |
| ISBN | 0807068535 |
This didn't really work for me.

Most people who are going to find this book probably have at least a cursory background in women/race/class studies, and I don't think this book's poems offers many new perspectives from those fields.

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!.
