520			_a"For colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf is a celebration of being black and being woman. In poetry and prose of remarkable power, Ntozake Shange set out to: sings a black girl's song, bring her out, to know herself, to know you, but sing her rhymes, carin/struggle/hard times, singe her song of life, she's been dead so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice, her infinite beauty, she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/no tune, sing her sighs, sing the song of her possibilities, singa righteous gospel, let her be born and handled warmly. With the joy that comes from courage, from daring to sing the song of her own experience, she has created an extraordinary work of art which will be welcomed and cherished." -- From the book jacket.
