Black Exotic Pearls: Poetry Book

There’s no denying that women of color are portrayed as exceptional gems with oceanic depths in Reneé Drummond-Brown’s Black Exotic Pearls: Poetry Book. The ebony beauties are very aware of what to hold inside and what can be shared openly. She knows that she’s the original Mother of all living Pearls. She’s real. She’s authentic. She’s sincere. Her culture is from the west-south side of the northeast sea. Where foreign seas meet and mingle it’s indisputable that black pearls are always a good choice (catch if you will).

But those that channel-surf that colorful ocean and steal from her oyster banks end up with grey, flawed pearls. The miseries of years of flooding in the domestic Red Sea are depicted in those hard Southside dives in her marine basin. As the ultimate black pearl and the Queen of all gems, she would undoubtedly return the clap back and have you clutching onto your pearls. She has depth. She’s complex.
