 Wonderful!! March 26, 2001
Michael Amani Barr (New York City)
Tasha's poems take you through all emotions love, anger, laughter and tears. Our society needs her voice to be able to understand the complex emotions of our young, black females where love and anger are entwined. Her versatility is startling, you never really know what to expect with the turn of a page. As she is sweet she is raw. Tasha is on her way to bringing poetry to a generation that doesn't believe ghetto love is real love, where poetry is something you "have to" read in school. Tasha Miller is on her way to being one of the best black poets of Generation X.

 Misleading April 29, 2001

While the poetry is intense and fiery, it is also graphic, angry, and often vulgar. The title may mislead you, but don't even THINK about letting "girls" read it.
