Black Face is a literary imperative! Norma Barker's body of work inspires us all to climb higher. It is a representation of the celebrations, experiences, high, lows and in-betweens of life in Black skin. Her words and thoughts are masterfully layered into free verse, lyrical, humor, Haiku, acrostics and alliteration. Black Face politely acknowledges the issues associated with having a Black Face, from being a little more brown skinned to being brought to America as slaves. The powerhouse namesake poem, Black Face, is the crown jewel in this collection. It fills you with passion and emotion to the very last line. In addition, a powerful dedication to Dr. Martin Luther King, a tribute to the Million Man March and many other poems that lift the spirit. This is positively moving poetry that resonates loudly and truthfully so there is no repenting or apology for this Black Face.
