Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 212-214) and index of poets (page xv).
Summary Continues and deepens the work of the first BreakBeat Poets anthology by focusing on some of the most exciting Black women writing today. This anthology breaks up the myth of hip-hop as a boys' club, and asserts the truth that the cypher is a feminine form. --From publisher description.
