Healing HER: Poetry that nourishes the soul through feminine energy (Soul-Skin Series Book 1)
Sez Kristiansen - 2019
It is a conduit for self-love to return back into your life and heal you through intuitive alignment. This book is a collection of intention-based poetry and prose that will align you with your own self-healing superpowers. By intuitively resonating with the nurturing qualities of the feminine psyche, you will be able to recalibrate your mind, body and soul back into a nourishing state of wholeness, from which even the deepest wounds can be healed. This book was created as a conduit for your own journey back to self-love - and allows you to hold space for the darkness, those peaty, blackened soils that provide the most richness for personal growth. Through this book, you will engage in the emotions that do not only bear witness your pain - but show you a way through them, and to the other side. This collection will nurture, allow & gently restore your intuitive healing abilities through the emotions that connect with subtle, yet infallible, feminine energy. "Sez articulates the words of our feminine soul by creating poetic pieces that nourish, align and leave you feeling deeply inspired by all shades of life. This is the work of an emotional alchemist and has the power to truly change your life." Conscious Living, dk ★★★★★ "My favourite podcast guest yet! Deep, raw & profound."

Finna
Nate Marshall - 2020
fin-na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to. rooted in African American Vernacular English. (2) eye dialect spelling of "fixing to." (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow.A lyrical and sharp celebration, these poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy. In three key parts, Finna explores the mythos and erasure of names in the American narrative; asks how gendered language can provoke violence; and finally, through the celebration and examination of the Black vernacular, expands the notions of possibility, giving us a new language of hope.

Wilder: Poems
Claire Wahmanholm - 2018
Here refugees listen to relaxation tapes that create an Arcadia out of tires and bleach. Here the alphabet spells out disaster and devours children. Here plate tectonics birth a misery rift, spinning loved ones away from each other across an uncaring sea. And here the cosmos--and Cosmos, as Carl Sagan's hopeful words are fissured by erasure--yawns wide.Wilder is grimly visceral but also darkly sly; it paints its world in shades of neon and rust, and its apocalypse in language that runs both sublime and matter-of-fact. "Some of us didn't have lungs left," writes Wahmanholm. "So when we lay beneath the loudspeaker sky--when we were told to pay attention to our breath--we had to improvise." The result is a debut collection that both beguiles and wounds, whose sky is "black at noon, black in the afternoon."
There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé
Morgan Parker - 2017
The poems weave between personal narrative and pop-cultural criticism, examining and confronting modern media, consumption, feminism, and Blackness. This collection explores femininity and race in the contemporary American political climate, folding in references from jazz standards, visual art, personal family history, and Hip Hop. The voice of this book is a multifarious one: writing and rewriting bodies, stories, and histories of the past, as well as uttering and bearing witness to the truth of the present, and actively probing toward a new self, an actualized self. This is a book at the intersections of mythology and sorrow, of vulnerability and posturing, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence.
