Synopsis:
Electric Arches is an imaginative exploration of black girlhood and womanhood through poetry, visual art, and narrative prose. Blending stark realism with the fantastical, Ewing takes us from the streets of Chicago to an alien arrival in an unspecified future, deftly navigating boundaries of space, time, and reality with delight and flexibility.
Rating:★★★½
Review:
I thought this was beautifully written and I just love the fact that she wrote a poem to the one and only Eryka Badu and one about something as simple as freaking Shea butter!!!
I'm not sure if it's because I read this in Kindle format or not but I found it nearly impossible to clearly see and understand the drawings included and also there were almost clip art like pieces of writing that fonts we were way too small and smashed together to read. Those were pretty frustrating moments for me seeing that I had to skip over whole paragraphs at times, due to them being illegible. This made me feel like I was reading only part of the book and not the whole book.

I wouldn't recommend reading this in kindle or e book format but I would recommend it in physical form.
