Not Without Black Women, Original Poems By Rebecca Dupas

This collection was first published in 2019 and revised in 2023. Not Without Black Women is a compilation of poems about navigating and experiencing the world as a black woman. The poems compiled in this book of original work takes readers on a journey through the beauty of being Black, the micro-aggressions of the workday, the relentless trauma of the news cycle, the power of love, and the infallible resilience of femininity. The author presents original works in three chapters: the world, the woman, and the wars. She reminds us all that the perspective, passion, and power of Black women are invaluable through poems she hopes will both resonate and inspire.
