In these new and selected poems Madhubuti, formerly Don L. Lee, poet, publisher, editor, and activist, places us in lyrical proximity to a legacy of women whose lives he honors with heart warm verses and timeless reverence. Each poem is a vivid portraiture of the "magnificent energy" emanating from a rainbow of Black women.
In this mosaic collection of poetry, Madhubuti celebrates the luminous spirits of women whose visible 'greatness' has left an indelible mark on his life's work. In Taught By Women, Madhubuti sings their struggles and praises with pitch perfect precision, every note-- an empowering song and unforgettable melody.
