Letters is a celebration of the love that binds us.” —W magazine
(Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2023)

celebrates Black love that exists in spite of the pain and
injustice our community has faced.” —The Root
“A wide-ranging collection of testaments to what moves the heart.”
—Kirkus Reviews
"There are many books about love but precious few that are love.
That's a more difficult challenge—concentrating love to words on a
page, capturing love as it is, delivering it still intact. Cole,
Natalie, and the many authors in Black Love Letters have done just
that—distilled love to soothe your soul. I just know you'll love it
like I do." —from the foreword by John Legend
