On the cover:
from FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE / WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF

she waz sullen
& the rhinestones etchin the corners
of her mouth

suggested tears
fresh kisses that had done no good

she always wore her stomach out
lined with small iridescent feathers
the hairs round her navel seemed to dance
& she didnt let on
she knew
from behind her waist waz achin to be held
the pastel ivy drawn on her shoulders
waz to be brushed with lips and fingers
smellin of honey & jack daniels

-Ntosake Shange
