Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Full of wonder." —Elizabeth Acevedo A Best Book of the Year at BuzzFeed, Refinery29, and Entropy Magazine What makes a self? In her remarkable debut collection of poems, Destiny O. Birdsong writes fearlessly towards this question. Laced with ratchetry, yet hungering for its own respectability, Negotiations is about what it means to live in this America, about Cardi B and top-tier journal publications, about autoimmune disease and the speaker’s intense hunger for her own body—a surprise of self-love in the aftermath of both assault and diagnosis. It’s a series of love letters to black women, who are often singled out for abuse and assault, silencing and tokenism, fetishization and cultural appropriation in ways that throw the rock, then hide the hand. It is a book about tenderness and an indictment of people and systems that attempt to narrow black women’s lives, their power. But it is also an examination of complicity—both a narrative and a black box warning for a particular kind of self-healing that requires recognizing culpability when and where it exists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Path of Destiny, and Other Poems The morn was fastly breaking into day, Painting the clouds with striped bands of gold, As it made paths upon them in its play, Playing philosophy -to ne'er grow old: I wandered there alone, with thot untold, And never to be told, and wondering Wh'at unique things had from the ages rolled, And how I would like to see anything, If it but some new thot 'and life to me would bring. As this I wondered, laughing at myself, And laughing at the world beneath my feet, And laughing at the stars within their gulf Of sober sky serene; I laughed to meet That thing called Death, who travels on wings fleet, And tries to frighten mortals out of life, Because it wants the life itself, to heat And fuse together to make death - and grief Is skimmed off with a ladle, and thrown into Belief.

Download or read book Healing Earthquakes written by Jimmy Santiago Baca and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning collection of poems that vividly capture the astonishing emotional range of an entire romance from beginning to end. Jimmy Santiago Baca introduces us to a man and woman before they are acquainted and re-creates their first meeting, falling in love, their decision to make a family, the eventual realization of each other’s irreconcilable faults, the resulting conflicts, the breakup and hostility, and, finally, their transcendence of the bitterness and resentment. Throughout the relationship we are privy to the couple’s anguish of loneliness, the heady rush of new love, the irritations and joys of raising children, the difficulties in truly knowing someone, the doldrums of breakup, and so on. It is impossible not to identify with these characters and to recognize the universal drama of human connection. As he weaves this story, Baca explores many of his traditional themes: the beauty and cruelty of the desert lands where he spent much of his life, the grace and wisdom of animals, and the quiet dignity of life on small Chicano farms. An extraordinary work that “expresses both bliss and heartache with lyric intensity” from one of America’s finest poets (Booklist). “Baca is a force in American poetry . . . His words heal, inspire, and elicit the earthly response of love.” —Garrett Hongo “[Baca] writes with unconcealed passion . . . what makes his writing so exciting to me is the way in which it manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythic and archetypal significance of life-events.” —Denise Levertov
