Love Child's Hotbed of Occasional Poetry is a twenty-first-century paean to the sterling love songs humming throughout four hundred years of black American life. National Book Award winner Nikky Finney's fifth collection contains lighthouse poems, narrative hotbeds, and treasured artifacts--copper coins struck from a new matrix for poetry, one that testifies from the witness stand and punctuates the occasional lyric within a new language of "docu-poetry."
The ancestors arise and fly, and the black female body is the "insurgent sensualist," hunted but fighting to live and love in the ways it wants and knows best: "I loved being / a black girl but had not yet learned / to play dead . . ." The tenderness of a father's handwritten notes shadows the collection like a ghost, while the treasured, not-for-sale interiority of a black girl's fountainhead takes over every page. "One yellaw gal with an all-black tongue has gone missing." Finney has composed a new black spiritual, and one of the great voices of our time again stamps her singular sound into the new day.Binding Type: Hardcover

Feels cheap
Style: Social Worker
The material feels a little too flimsy for my liking. When I picked it up, I noticed right away that it’s more on the budget side not the durable canvas or sturdy fabric you hope for in a daily-use tote. I wouldn’t trust it with anything heavier than maybe a few magazines or a change of clothes. Grocery runs? Forget it. The handles and the body don’t inspire confidence and I found myself double-checking the seams every time I loaded it up.
The look is actually pretty cute, so points for style. I can see it working as a light errand bag or something you toss in your car for emergencies. If you just need something casual for occasional use, like carrying snacks to a picnic or using it for light shopping, you’ll probably be fine.
But for anything that requires a bit more muscle, like regular grocery hauls or heavier books, this tote just isn’t up to the job

Delivered in mailbox folded up.
Style: Difference Maker Definition
The tote is beautiful! The only complaint I have is that it was delivered folded up in my mailbox. I’m going to try & use an iron on low heat to straighten it out. It is made out of a cheaper fabric.

Super cute… but not what the listing is
Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
First of all, this listing is entirely inaccurate, as other reviews say, the picture is of a larger bag when in reality you are sent something much smaller and without the small wallet.
I wanted the smaller bag, so I ordered it intentionally, but if you are looking for the larger size, do not order this.
I included a side by side comparison of the two bags. The lighter bag is the size this listing is supposed to be (that I owned previously) and the smaller one is the one I was sent.
That being said the smaller bag is super cute and so similar to the Brooklyn bag! Just be aware that it does not match the listing :)

Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
This purse has a good size for an every day purse. It’s a pretty style purse, and reminds me of the Coach brooklyn shoulder bag. I’m not too crazy about this bag since the material is thin and flimsy, but I should be okay.
