"You are carrying in your hands a Black woman's heart."-Jericho Brown, author of Pulitzer Prize winner The Tradition From spoken word poet Jasmine Mans comes an unforgettable poetry collection about race, feminism, and queer identity. With echoes of Gwendolyn Brooks and Sonia Sanchez, Mans writes to call herself-and us-home. Each poem explores what it means to be a daughter of Newark, and America-and the painful, joyous path to adulthood as a young, queer Black woman. Black Girl, Call Home is a love letter to the wandering Black girl and a vital companion to any woman on a journey to find truth, belonging, and healing.

Each poem is a meditation on a moment, a memory, and a history that guides the reader through the experience of Black womanhood in a way I ve not experienced before. These poems both explode and glimmer on the page. They demand to be read, to be shared, to be revisited time and time again.
Clint Smith, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How the Word Is Passed
[Mans ] lucid and lyrical lines are as undeniable as those of a pop song yet as arresting as only spoken word artistry can be.

"A tender distillation of black girlhood. Mans draws together both intricate adornment and the unvarnished truth.
Raven Leilani, New York Times bestselling author of Luster
Mans takes up the tools of Brooks and Sanchez into her good hands and chisels us an urgent and grand work, proving why she s the favorite poet of all the girls in the back of the bus.
Danez Smith, author of National Book Award finalist for poetry Don't Call Us Dead
This book is a haven for all the Black daughters out there, hoping to make sense of the power and powerlessness in their bodies, the connection to others' bodies, and the moments of everyday life that comprise so much of our identities.
Morgan Jerkins, New York Times bestselling author of This Will Be My Undoing
Spoken-word poet Jasmine Mans s gift with words is nothing short of sublime, and the territory she explores in this poetry collection from waiting for her mother to get home from work and do her hair as a child in Newark to coming into her full as a young, queer Black woman couldn t be more necessary.
