In this deeply personal book, the celebrated writer reflects on what it means to be an artist, a woman, and a woman of color through a beautiful combination of memoir and essay. She describes where her love for creative forces began - in her childhood home, a place where imagination reigned and boredom wasn't allowed. </p> <p>The essays tell stories ranging from the poignant origin of her celebrated play <i>for colored girls</i> to why Shange needed to deconstruct the English language to make that production work, from the intensity of the female experience and the black experience as separate entities to the difficulty of living both lives simultaneously; from the intense love of jazz bestowed on her by her father to a similar obsession with dance, which came from her mother. With deep sincerity, attention, and her legendary candor, Shange's collection progresses from the public arena to the private, gathering along the way the passions and insights of an author who writes with “such exquisite care and beauty that anybody can relate to her message” (Clive Barnes, the <i>New York Times</i>).</p>","readBy":"Allyson Johnson","contentUrl":"https://samples.audible.com/bk/bbca/000873/bk_bbca_000873_sample.mp3","mainEntityOfPage":"https://www.audible.com/pd/Lost-in-Language-and-Sound-Audiobook/B006R8NK0Q"}</script><div class="mb-6"><figure class="simple-player_simple-player-wrapper__vNLpF"><audio src="https://samples.audible.com/bk/bbca/000873/bk_bbca_000873_sample.mp3" preload="metadata"><track kind="captions" srcLang="en" label="English"/></audio><div class="simple-player_simple-player-container___dhvD"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-button-wrapper__XZNgr hidden"><button aria-label="Play button Lost in Language and Sound" class="simple-player_simple-player-button__8wqyv simple-player_simple-player-play-button__GMFpi"><span class="simple-player_simple-player-button-icon__5CNzm"><svg stroke="currentColor" fill="currentColor" stroke-width="0" viewBox="0 0 24 24" height="1em" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="none" stroke-width="2" d="M3,22.0000002 L21,12 L3,2 L3,22.0000002 Z M5,19 L17.5999998,11.9999999 L5,5 L5,19 Z M7,16 L14.1999999,12 L7,8 L7,16 Z M9,13 L10.8,12 L9,11 L9,13 Z"></path></svg></span></button></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-image-wrapper__cYOkS"><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Lost-in-Language-and-Sound-Audiobook/B006R8NK0Q"><picture><source srcSet="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tlgoLiyWL._SL800_.jpg" media="(min-width: 480px)"/><img alt="Image for Lost in Language and Sound" loading="lazy" width="180" height="180" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="simple-player_simple-player-image__HOn_k rounded-[12px]" style="color:transparent" srcSet="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tlgoLiyWL._SL800_.jpg?w=256 1x, https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tlgoLiyWL._SL800_.jpg?w=384 2x" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tlgoLiyWL._SL800_.jpg?w=384"/></picture></a></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-info-wrapper__0tDNf"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-info__IaYfa simple-player_simple-player-info-right__h4FX0"><h4><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Lost-in-Language-and-Sound-Audiobook/B006R8NK0Q">Lost in Language and Sound</a></h4><a href="https://www.audible.com/search?searchAuthor=Ntozake+Shange"><p>By Ntozake Shange</p></a><p>Narrated by Allyson Johnson</p></div></div></div><div class="hidden"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-seeker__IFpZv"><input type="range" id="simple-player-slider" class="simple-player_simple-player-slider__2Gbmr" max="100"/></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-duration__ldPId"><span class="simple-player_simple-player-duration-span__5G9yc">0:00</span><span class="simple-player_simple-player-duration-span__5G9yc">:</span></div></div></figure></div><h4 class="text-asin-title mb-4">Lost in Language and Sound</h4><div class=" [&_a]:text-curious-blue [&_a]:hover:text-link-color-hover dark:[&_a]:link-color-dm dark:[&_a]:hover:link-color-dm-hover"><p><i>Lost in Language & Sound</i> is a vibrant and vital collection that celebrates the three most important muses in the life and work of Ntozake Shange - language, music, and dance.

That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man - a fellow slave - seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr., fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike, from Isaiah and Samuel to the calculating slave master to the long line of women that surround them, women who have carried the soul of the plantation on their shoulders.
