In Race, Rage, and Roses , Regina Jennings’ poems passionately reveal the beauty and tragedy of women in the Black Panther Party and beyond and make a riveting read. She explores the often haunting reality of growing up Black and female during the spirited, tumultuous 1960s and 1970s. In spare, often brutally honest narrative verse, Jennings spins stories of home, homelessness, and rebuilding home.
