For over thirty years this revolutionary poet has been undeterred from a path that began in the sixties. She has not given up the struggle to let her poetry be what she refers to as a 'call to arms' for her people. --Juanita Johnson-Bailey, <i>Ms.</i> <p/>[Sanchez] looks deeply into that most dangerous of places-the heart. --<i>-Quarterly Black Review</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sonia Sanchez</b> is poet, activist, scholar, and formerly the Laura Carnell Professor of English and Women's Studies at Temple University, and is currently a poet-in-residence there.
