Book: Like The Singing Coming Off The Drums: Love Poems( Series - Bluestreak Series ) A collection of sensual love poems from one of the most prominent African-American poets and a leader of the Black Arts Movement.
In the movie lovejones, in Vibe magazine, and in music by rapper D Knowledge, the love poems of Sonia Sanchez have put into words the passions of a generation.
Like the Singing Coming off the Drums offers a collection of dazzling new love poems from Sonia Sanchez. In haiku, tanka, and sensual blues, Sanchez writes as no one else can of the many forms love takes: burning, dreamy, dis appointed, and vulnerable. In three sections --"Naked in the Streets," "Shake Loose My Skin," and "In This Wet Season" --she takes us from the most intimate landscapes of passion to its public celebration in love poems dedicated to icons of our age, including Tupac Shakur and Ella Fitzgerald.
