Brevity being the soul of wit, let\'s be brief.
Because we are truly in this one together..
But the change is definitely "gonna come." ORDER Lovely AND Suffering NOW! And please, share thoughts, comments, journeys of your own.
The change will come forth in praise or pain, in recognition or release.
Then open your soul, and watch what happens.
Open your hand to buy Lovely AND SUFFERING.
Let this collection be your primer.
To say, to sing your heart-work, your spirit-songs.
This time, more than any other, requires you to be brave and bold.
Read and embrace a full year\'s journey and the revelations thereof.
Read and feel.
It won\'t matter, as long as you read and think.
You may be horrified and fascinated, disturbed or jubilant, entertained, mystified, enlightened...or all of the above.
It belongs to the you who came through the pandemic, who\'s still living with an ongoing process, the you who wanted to ask questions or needed validation for the way you\'ve survived all these years.
So, against all tradition, I\'m going to say I KNOW THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
Let that burning in your heart ease a little, or start a fire of truth in your own belief and perception.
Laugh and shake your head.
Cry if you need to.
Read the poems.
The poems are uniquely personal, but the frustration, soul-cries, and definition of self are not.
Defiance and definition, betrayal and broken hearts, sass and solidarity.
Lovely AND Suffering is this year in poems that sing, shout, celebrate living through this time and trial as a Black woman in America.
Living through the firebomb of politics and policies that highlighted secrets and things left unsaid for far too long.
The whole world lived through, is still living through a pandemic.
Not this time.
For the most part, they speak to a singular audience, a singular experience.
Journeys and memoirs and adventures shape every path and portent of our lives.
Period.
Poems.
These.
Read.
To.
Need.
You.
