by D. Watkins (Foreword by), Chin-Yer Wright (Author)

"Chin-yer connects the brilliance of Angelou and Hughes with the contemporary relevance of Jay-z and Kendrick Lamar. Her voice is exactly what the genre needs in addition to being powerful enough to attract new writers and get them excited about the art of poetry. Black Fairy Tales is a perfect example-- it's an addictive cocktail of the streets, creativity, and craft that will not only entertain you, but get you excited about the art. Books like Black Fairy Tales make me proud to be a writer and I'm glad that the world will be inspired by it as well."
-D. Watkins, Best selling author of The Cook Up and The Beast Side

"All these Bit*&es are fire!! This book is loaded with strong wordplay and strong metaphors. The similes are amazing! This book captures your attention from the very first stanza. Black Fairy Tales covers various hard to talk about topics such as murder, rape, incest, drug dealing, black on black crime, police brutality and much more that goes on in somebody's average everyday life in a low income American city. I STRONGLY recommend this book to anyone who has struggled."
-Bobby Evans, Baltimore City High school student & Do the Write Thing Poetry Competition Champion"

"Black Fairy Tales is organized in a way where each line becomes an event on the page, and the poetry is pure and potent with breathtaking lines all throughout."
-Jacob Mayberry aka BLACK CHAKRA, National Poetry Slam Champion"

"Chin-yer's delicately and thoughtfully crafted poems reimagine the content and context of classic fairy tales. We recognize them still, but now these stories wear a different skin, beautiful and terrible all at once. Masterful work!"
- Gayle Danley, International Poetry Slam Champion

"This author is the most talented poet that I have taught in all of my 14 years teaching creative writing at Morgan State University."
-Clay Goss, Playwright


Black Fairy Tales is a collection of Urban poems and poetic stories that tell the story of growing up Black. They read like fast paced mini-movies starring the characters, plot, and scenes of too many Black lives. Its vivid imagery, high definition graphic details, strong storytelling skills and impressive use of poetic devices leave readers, young and old, impacted with stories and writing that they will never forget.
