The Black Love Book Discussion

The book Black Love: A Book of Poetry & Love is great and so was its discussion. Dinner with friends and family can be wonderfully challenging, but the evening went well. It must have been the topic. The ladies had plenty of great comments; all positive. The only thing we were missing was a man's point of view, which is important, perhaps there will be a part II.

Black Love is uniquely designed to represent various relationships. We all have our favorite poems, among some them were God's Gift and The Dance to name a few. The group found it important to review the book on a whole. The setup is simple, but there are some complex lessons to be learned inside. It was interesting to hear how relevant this book has been in their lives. The conversation was lively at times. There was a moment when "Whoa! Whoa!" was blurted because of the need to slow down and reflect on the reading of a poem.

Everyone had a great time dining and bringing their thoughts to the group.  As the author of Black Love, I appreciated the varied views and candor. I look forward to part II of the discussion.
