# Wicked Enchantment: Selected Poems - Hardcover

by **Wanda Coleman** (Author), **Terrance Hayes** (Editor)

**ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST--_The New York Times_ and _Washington Post_**

A voice for justice, anti-racism, and equality--here is the greatest and most powerful work of the people's poet, Wanda Coleman.

Coleman was a beat-up, broke, and Black woman who wrote with anger, humor, and clarity. **_Wicked Enchantment: Selected Poems_** is a selection of 130 of her poems, edited and introduced by Terrance Hayes. Rejected by the elites during her lifetime, here's what people are saying now:

\--**One of the year's best "These poems are wildly fun and inventive . . . and frequently hilarious; they seem to cover every human experience and emotion."--_New York Times_**

\--Winner, California Independent Bookseller Alliance 'Golden Poppy' Book Award 2020

**\--"Required Reading" _Bustle_**

\--"One of the greatest poets ever to come out of L.A." _The New Yorker_

**\--One of the year's best "Fantastically entertaining and deeply engaging...potent distillations of creative rage, social critique, and subversive wit."--_Washington Post_**

\--"Her work pushes us to confront injustice with as much candor as she did."--_Poetry_

A self-made writer from Black Los Angeles, Wanda Coleman made art while living every day with racism, poverty, violence. Her triumph is in words that endure. It's time for Coleman's courageous, impassioned, inspiring, one-of-a-kind voice to reach readers everywhere.
