For the month of February, I will be reading Black Women Writers at Work by Claudia Tate. The book includes interviews with Maya Angelou, Toni Cade Bambara, Gwendolyn Brooks, Alexis De Beaux, Nikki Giovanni, Kristin Hunter, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Sonia Sanchez, Ntozake Shange, Alice Walker, Margaret Walker and Shirley Anne Williams. To say I am excited would be an understatement. I am looking forward to learning so much from these writers. I will also use this space to share weekly recaps. If you are interested in reading along, I have included a reading schedule below.
