For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf
If there is ever a time in the future when people are able to gather together in groups again, I want to see a performance of For colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf.
It is beautiful, passionate, real, gritty, lyrical. I felt like I was reading a song.Â
It's a poem performed by 7 women, each one of them representing a colour of the rainbow, and one the colour brown. They speak of their experiences as Black women, their dreams and their sorrows. Of abortion and AIDS and abandonment. Of rape and racism. Of longing and love, racism and violence.
It is written in the women's vernacular which adds a rich and authentic element to the poem. I won't claim to have "gotten" all the layers of meaning, but I will claim that I enjoyed it very much. And maybe I can't see the performance right now, but I'm glad I could at least read the book.
