Published more than five years after Ntozake Shange's death, Sing a Black Girl's Song gathers an extraordinary selection of previously unpublished poems, short fiction, dramatic fragments, journal entries and unfinished writings.

Curated by Imani Perry, the collection reveals the breadth of Shange's creative practice beyond her landmark work for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf, tracing a lifetime devoted to language, Black womanhood, memory, performance and radical self-expression.

Rather than a conventional posthumous anthology, the book feels like an archival encounter. Intimate, exploratory and often formally adventurous, it captures ideas in motion alongside polished pieces, offering readers access to the workshop of one of America's most singular literary voices. Essential for admirers of Shange, Black feminist literature, experimental poetry and anyone interested in the unfinished lives of writers whose archives continue to reshape their legacy.
