Posted by rgv, Thu Apr-28-05 08:50 PM
so, truth and i were discussing bday presents when she revealed
her distaste of toni morrison

now, anyone can tell u
what i think of toni morrison
...she is...she is...above all else as far as im concerned

tough act to beat
& i dont see any coming even close honestly

song of solomon...sula...bluest eye...
i mean it's literature that simply
will stand the test of time
she really cant be fked w/

so...that brings truth & i to sum more discussion
& truth reveals her love/admiration/cant live w/oness
of alice walker

who....i throw GP coins at for the color prple
& really dont fk w/ outside of that
lemme see...she's got sum short stories
that i think are hard

but...even the color prple
doesnt make me VERY excited

her new work...is pure trash to me
& yes...morrison fell off w/ paradise & love

BUT

she's farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from being a walker

*in my honest opinion*

i feel the same way
bout nikki giovanni & sonia sanchez
they just

do not move any part of my body.

i respect em...sure do...
they have pieces
i admire lots,
but collectively

they dont make me look twice.

hwever,
im willing to throw my notebooks down
& cornrow a ponytail over sum

june jordan
or gwendolyn brooks
or audre lourde
or lucille clifton

anyway...
im just interested

feel free to chime in

rudegirl/virgo


o & truth...
u still my girl
we got ntozake & baldwin to agree on
