Lost in language & sound
''lost in language & sound: or how i found my way to the arts: essays'' (2011) is a collection of 25 personal essays written by Ntozake Shange. Explored in the collection are topics such as racism, sexism, jazz, dance, and writing. The essays function as autobiography, music and literary criticism, and social critique. While some pieces were written specifically for the collection, many were written over the span of over 30 years.
In February 2011, the essay "why i had to dance//" was staged as a choreopoem at Oberlin College. Shange's long-time collaborator, Dianne McIntyre, choreographed and directed the piece.
== Style ==
Many of the essays are written in Shange's recognizable style that includes idiosyncratic spelling, lack of capitalization, and unconventional punctuation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/ntozake-shange/lost-language-and-sound/ )〕 For example, throughout the essays Shange replaces "with" with "wit" or "and" with "n." Shange describes her motivations for defying conventional spelling and grammar rules in the essay "my pen is my machete." She writes about her desire to "attack deform n maim the language that i was taught to hate myself in/ the language that perpetuates the notions that cause pain to every black child as s/he learns to speak of the world."
