Book Synopsis Super Sad Black Girl by : Diamond Sharp
Download or read book Super Sad Black Girl written by Diamond Sharp and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond Sharp’s Super Sad Black Girl is a love letter to her hometown of Chicago, where her speaker finds solace and community with her literary idols in the hopes of answering the question: What does it look like when Black women are free? Lorraine Hansberry and Gwendolyn Brooks appear throughout, counseling the speaker as she navigates her own depression and exploratory questions about the “Other Side,” as do Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, and other Black women who have been murdered by police violence. Sharp’s poetry is self-assured, playful, and imaginative, reminiscent of Langston Hughes with its precision and brevity. The book explores purgatorial, in-between spaces that the speaker occupies, as she struggles to find a place, a time, where she can live safely and freely. With her skillful use of repetition, particularly with her series of concrete poems, lines and voices echo across the book so the reader, too, feels suspended within Sharp’s lyric moments. Super Sad Black Girl is a compassionate and ethereal depiction of mental illness from a promising and powerful poet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How One Courageous Woman Wasn't Going To Let Bipolar Disorder Stand In Her Way For decades, Wonda Lee Davis suffered from an illness nobody could figure out-leaving her feeling bereft, isolated, and hopeless. Then in 2009, doctors diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. What followed is the story of a woman who refused to hide in the shadows. Real Time With Miss Bipolar Bitch is her frank and moving account of reckoning with her disorder and resolving to help others suffering from the same symptoms. In a unique, confiding prose style, Davis uses the diagnosis to examine her troubled upbringing and youth, only to discover that many of her issues-a once promiscuous lifestyle, inability to work consistently, and social problems-fit the classic definition of bipolar. In the process, Davis must come to terms with her personal failings-stubborn self-hatred, hypocrisy, and violent thoughts-to make peace with herself and the world around her. Through it all, Davis details her inspiring efforts to reach out and let others-especially kindred African-American women-know they are not alone in suffering from this poorly understood mental illness. This no-holds-barred memoir also includes the latest medical information on bipolar disorder, an introduction to terms and treatment, and references to important resources. It's a must read for anyone suffering with bipolar and other mood disorders

In the late ’60s, Ntozake Shange was a student at Barnard College discovering her budding talent as a writer, publishing in her school’s literary journal, and finding her unique voice. By the time she left us in 2018, Shange had scorched blazing trails across countless pages and stages, redefining genre and form as we know them, each verse, dance, and song a love letter to Black women and girls, and the community at large. Sing a Black Girl’s Song is a new posthumous collection of Shange’s unpublished poems, essays, and plays from throughout the life of the seminal Black feminist writer. In these pages we meet young Shange, learn the moments that inspired for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf…, travel with an eclectic family of musicians, sit on “The Couch” opposite Shange’s therapist, and discover plays written after for colored girls’ international success. Sing a Black Girl’s Song houses, in their original form, the literary rebel’s politically charged verses from the Black Arts Movement era alongside her signature tender rhythm and cadence that capture the minutia and nuance of Black life. Sing a Black Girl’s Song is the continuation of a literary tradition that has bolstered generations of writers and a long-lasting gift from one of the fiercest and most highly celebrated artists of our time.

Lockington draws on some of the emotional truths from her own experiences growing up with an adoptive white family. I am a girl but most days I feel like a question mark. Makeda June Kirkland is eleven years old, adopted, and black. Her parents and big sister are white, and even though she loves her family very much, Makeda often feels left out. When Makeda's family moves from Maryland to New Mexico, she leaves behind her best friend, Lena— the only other adopted black girl she knows— for a new life. In New Mexico, everything is different. At home, Makeda’s sister is too cool to hang out with her anymore and at school, she can’t seem to find one real friend. Through it all, Makeda can’t help but wonder: What would it feel like to grow up with a family that looks like me? Through singing, dreaming, and writing secret messages back and forth with Lena, Makeda might just carve a small place for herself in the world. For Black Girls Like Me is for anyone who has ever asked themselves: How do you figure out where you are going if you don’t know where you came from?
