Hardback. Zustand: Good. "Passionate, personal, insightful, testy, and unique." --Kirkus (starred review) "Verdelle offers us testimony in praise and consideration of life as a literary citizen and Black woman alongside the guiding light of Toni Morrison. This is a holy testimony, indeed, one that deserves to be amen'd forever." --Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author "Verdelle gives us the greatest gift--our beloved ancestor returned to us--generous and alive, remembered and revered. So grateful for this book in the world." --Jacqueline Woodson, author of Another Brooklyn "If you let a black girl loose in a library, you may not recognize the woman who emerges." --from Miss Chloe Toni Morrison, born Chloe A Wofford, was a towering figure in the world of literature when she entered A.J. Verdelle's life. Their literary friendship was a young writer's dream--simultaneously exhilarating, intimidating, fulfilling, and challenging. The relationship crossed generations, spanned several cycles in life, exhibited high and low notes, reached and dipped and found its way. Like many women friends, these two writers imagined and built a relationship that was responsive, inventive, and engaged. Miss Chloe powerfully situates the risks writers face and the freedom they find when they put Black women's lives into words. Verdelle chronicles her grief at Morrison's passing, and finds comfort in Morrison's astute advice--wisdom Verdelle didn't always recognize at the time. In this pensive and intricately lyrical book, Verdelle honors Morrison among the cultural greats, while illuminating and celebrating the power of language, legacy, and genius. A. J. Verdelle is the award-winning author of the novel, The Good Negress. She teaches Creative Writing at Morgan State University and at the MFA program at Lesley University.  In this moving portrait of a friendship between two literary giants, A. J. Verdelle shares an unforgettable look at the woman she called Miss Chloe: A Portrait of Toni Morrison: Go behind the larger-than-life persona to meet 'Miss Chloe,' the friend, the elder, and the woman, in moments of quiet conversation, shared laughter, and profound wisdom. The Craft of Writing: A must-read for writers, this book delves into the risks and freedoms of putting Black women's lives into words, celebrating the power of language and legacy. Grief and Remembrance: Verdelle chronicles her journey through grief after Morrison's passing, finding solace and strength in the memories of their two-decade bond. Black Womanhood and Friendship: A beautiful testimony to the bonds between Black women across generations, and the inventive, responsive, and engaged relationships they build together.…
