In It's All Love, Black writers celebrate the complexity, power, danger, and glory of love in all its many forms: romantic, familial, communal, and sacred. Editor Marita Golden recounts the morning she woke up certain that she would meet her soul mate in 'My Own Happy Ending' ; memoirist Reginald Dwayne Betts, in a piece he calls 'Learning the Name Dad,' writes stirringly about serving time in prison and how that transformed his life for the better; New York Times bestselling author Pearl Cleage is at her best in the delicate, touching 'Missing You' ; award-winning author David Anthony Durham enraptures readers with his 'An Act of Faith' ; New York Times bestselling author L. A. Banks is both funny and wise in her beautiful essay on discovering love as a child, 'Two Cents and a Question.' And the poetry of love is here, too - from Gwendolyn Brooks's classic 'Black Wedding Song' to works by Nikki Giovanni, E. Ethelbert Miller, and Kwame Alexander. It's All Love is a dazzling, delightfully diverse exploration of the wonderful gift of love.
