Sonia Sanchez

An acclaimed poet, activist, and scholar, Sonia Sanchez is the former Laura Carnell Professor of English and Women's Studies at Temple University. Called a “lion in literature’s forest” by Maya Angelou, Sanchez has written more than a dozen books of poetry, including the American Book Award-winner Homegirls and Handgrenades. Her new book of poems is a collection of haiku that celebrates the lives and mourns the deaths of revered African-American leaders.
