In It’s All Love, Black writers celebrate the complexity, power, danger, and glory of love in all its many forms: romantic, familial, communal, and sacred. Editor Marita Golden recounts the morning she woke up certain that she would meet her soul mate in “My Own Happy Endingâ€; memoirist Reginald Dwayne Betts, in a piece he calls “Learning the Name Dad,†writes stirringly about serving time in prison and how that transformed his life for the better; New York Times bestselling author Pearl Cleage is at her best in the delicate, touching “Missing Youâ€; award-winning author David Anthony Durham enraptures readers with his “An Act of Faithâ€; New York Times bestselling author L. A. Banks is both funny and wise in her beautiful essay on discovering love as a child, “Two Cents and a Question.†And the poetry of love is here, too—from Gwendolyn Brooks’s classic “Black Wedding Song†to works by Nikki Giovanni, E. Ethelbert Miller, and Kwame Alexander. It’s All Love is a dazzling, delightfully diverse exploration of the wonderful gift of love.
