Review:
I first "met" Coleman when she was featured on a PBS special. She read some of her poems, and I was floored by their power. In this prose collection, I got to know her even better, through her essays and her interviews of artists Nikki Giovanni and Bob Marley. Her essays are crystalline insights on a world gone careless and L.A. in crisis. Within these short reflections are folks you know and others you'll want to meet. Coleman speaks of the facts and foibles of being human, of difference and of just getting through the day. She talks the talk!
