"This collection of plays is a testimony to and an expression of life in the Black body and psyche. The work dares to meet the subject matter where it is, allowing it to tell the truth, shame the devil, and put a self-congratulatory industry on notice. The time for niceties has come and gone. If theatre is to be revolutionary, it cannot be lukewarm, it must bring the fire. That is what Daaimah Mubashshir has done."— Stacey Rose

"Words, sentences, “whole mercurial texts” overflow luminously. Writing that breathes fresh life into the plays at discrete moments you didn’t know needed it."—Rachel Valinsky, BOMB Magazine

"When you see the quote “she’s ahead of her time” it means that everyone else needs catching up. Do yourself a favor, catch up; be here now, and you will need not look back. Here lies Black."— Raja Feather Kelly

"As a photographer, I am drawn to Mubashshir’s ability to create images with her words. Images that cling to you, so vivid and visceral that you will want to read slowly and savor every word."— Kelli Connell

"What unites these wild permutations about Blackness is a fundamental question that has always been relevant and will likely remain so: from where is value derived?"— Stephen Christensen

"a pageant/poem. luxuriant. o please
stage this blaze faceted jewel."— Honor Moore
