Corregidora Bewertungen

Corregidora is a poem to black men and women. It is an ode, howbeit painful, to all the participants in the American Experience -- Maya Angelou ?Corregidora is the most brutally honest and painful revelation of what has occurred, and is occurring * in the souls of Black men and women...It dares to confront the absolute terror which lives at the heart of love *
James Baldwin 'The sexual writing - and this is a book with virtually no other subject than sex - is a model of grace and taste * New York Times *
