Publisher's Synopsis
BLACK POOL OF GENIUS Volume I is a lovingly curated volume of original subversive black girl poems written by tanisha Lynn Pyron under her creative alias/pen name Pretty Fire the Poet. The work centers the experience of being black and a woman in America. It is Black Americana, exploring both the pain and the pride embedded within the collective black American experience. This book speaks truth to power, while feeling like an invitation to spend time with your dearest sister friend. An educational tool, a roast session, a heart felt cry, a prayer, and most importantly an act of resistance. It is a celebration of black womanhood on a black woman's terms.
