Razor Blades Between My Teeth

Poetry. African American Studies. Hailed the Zora Neale Hurston of her generation, Ashanti White once again proves herself a clever wordsmith in this intimate collection of poetry and prose that follows the release of her debut novel. With Chasing Eden, Ashanti White introduced herself as a fresh talent with her penetrating portrayal of relationships, offering the honest insight reserved to the world s most gifted storytellers. Ashanti returns to her roots with RAZOR BLADES BETWEEN MY TEETH, a collection of classic and newly published works. Tackling historical and contemporary universalities, including sexual assault in "Stolen," linguistics in "Slang," and love in "Do-Right Woman," Ashanti eloquently captures the complex yet beautiful essence of human existence.
