I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times by Taylor Byas
"I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times" follows a Black woman's journey from the South Side of Chicago into adulthood, drawing inspiration from the narrative arc of "The Wiz." As she navigates various settings like an abandoned barn, a Wendy's drive-thru, and Grandma's house, she confronts aspects of her identity, including her womanhood, sexuality, and family dynamics. The book reimagines Chicago as more than just a city, portraying it as a teacher and a lens through which the world is viewed. Through diverse poetic forms, the story explores themes of home and self-discovery.
