Summary

"On topics ranging from love, sex and politics to family, friends and community, the powerful young voices of Black women between the ages of 15-24 speak out in chorus in this provocative and timely collection of literary writings. Their voices speak to and about a generation caught up in the turmoil, anger and exhilaration of those exceptional, but fleeting, years of our youth. These are urgent voices we recognize immediately, inspiring us and promising to capture our hearts if we listen. Black Girl Talk speaks with a clarity, sophistication and intuition that often belies the ages of its authors. This unique anthology celebrates emerging Black writing, and clearly defines these "girls" as a force to be reckoned with."--BOOK JACKET.
