. . . absorbing biographical study . . . --Black Enterprise

Meticulously researched and thoroughly engaging . . . --Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature

. . . a splendid study . . . excellent . . . --Choice

Color, Sex, and Poetry provides both the bread and the meat of critical analysis and exploration of the lives of three Black women writers. --Belles Lettres

. . . Hull succeeds not only in exploring writers whose work is hampered by their 'split authorial personalities' but also in outlining the effects of economic circumstances on literary production. --Signs

A biographical/critical study of three Harlem Renaissance poets--Angelina Weld Grimké, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, and Georgia Douglas Johnson--during a rich and colorful period. Writing from a black feminist critical perspective, Hull recovers these black foremothers and in the process shakes up the traditional black literary canon.
