Customer Reviews

Regained Passion

I couldn't stop reading these passionate writings from great and unknown poets who stirred rhythms in me as I read the flavorful expressions of passions & love for that special someone on a personal level. With positive descriptions of Blacks loving as only real love can be expressed without barriers. I enjoyed & was touched while reading the love letters.I accidentally found "A Rock Against The Wind" in the Phoenix, AZ library when while searching for Black love poems. This book is a treasure. Where has this book been? Are there any other group writings like this?

Beautiful poems

I read this book about 5 or 6 years ago and I could never find it in bookstores. I reread it and remember the way I felt when I read it. I really like the book, it brings back alot of memories for me.

A beautiful collection. A must-have

Beautiful, loving words, in well crafted works.

The works are sincere in their emotion, tender in their descriptions, and positioned well by the editor. It is a wonderful idea to allow, so openly, the world a chance to view black love.
