"[The BreakBeat Poets is] one of the most diverse and important
poetry anthologies of the last 25 years."-Latino Rebels Black Girl
Magic 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. Poet and vocalist Jamila Woods was raised in Chicago, and
graduated from Brown University, where she earned a BA in Africana
Studies and Theatre & Performance Studies. Influenced by
Lucille Clifton and Gwendolyn Brooks, much of her writing explores
blackness, womanhood, and the city of Chicago. Mahogany L. Browne
is a Cave Canem and Poets House alumna and the author of several
books including Smudge and Redbone. She directs the poetry program
of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Idrissa Simmonds is a fiction writer
and poet. Her work has appeared in Black Renaissance Noire, The
Caribbean Writer, Fourteen Hills Press, and elsewhere. She is the
2014 winner of the Crab Creek Review poetry contest, and a New York
Foundation for the Arts and Commonwealth Short Story Award
Finalist.
