Sobre IBD

This book of poetry taps into the emotional, spiritual, and humorous senses of the female reader. The title poem has been a favorite among African American women since 1992. These poems are not poetic rhetoric but instead poems of realistic and spiritual perspectives, admonitions, praise, and straight talk.
