Centered around the themes of death, women as objects of desire, lost love, motherhood, and children, the poems in this selection offer insight into the work of this well-known abolitionist and advocate of women's rights. Including Grimke's prose and drama, which often focus on lynching, this volume sheds new light on a perspective characterized by the African American experience of racial pride and the reaction against racist acts.

reviewed Selected Works of Angelina Weld Grimké on May 17, 2012 Selected Works of Angelina Weld Grimké
This is a good collection of short and full plays. Prior to getting this I had only read "The Baltimore Waltz" (included in the collection) and found myself laughing and feeling sad at the various scenes inside.
"What are Tuesdays Like?" gives outsiders a glimpse inside an AIDS treatment clinic and how patients could interact with each other during their stressful situation. "The Stand In" is rather humorous despite it's biting irony of what happens when a well-known celebrity hides his homosexuality. I especially liked "It's Our Town, Too" because of its modern take on the old high school stage stand-by of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town". Other contributors are Claire Chafee, Constance Congdon, Steven Dietz, Linda Eisenstein, the Five Lesbian Brothers, Eric Lane, Craig Lucas, Cherrie Moraga, Ron Nyswaner, Joe Pintauro, Edwin Sanchez, Will Scheffer, and Shay Youngblood.
Gay or straight, thespian or audience member, it doesn't matter. This is definitely worth picking up and reading.
