This book of poetry is a must read in its fresh approach to life and intimacy. It draws on raw emotion in its attempt to get into the minds of its subjects. The wordplay is dynamic and displays a real vulnerability that most people experience but never admit. It is an appreciation of many subjects in life from womanhood and feminism to senseless acts of violence and racial harmony. The poems serve as a reminder that we are all alike because we all feel helplessness, heartbreak, and fear but also love, resilience, and joy when we finally choose to take that Jump into our destiny.
"It felt emotional...the plea reminded me of how helpless you feel especially during times like that. I also loved the dynamic of the Billie Jean poem...not being just a girl...a lover" (AH).
These poems were written to humble as well as inspire.
