Innocence Lost in a Black Embrace is a dark collection of poetry by Edward E Bortot. According to the author, this is the final installment of the Innocent Souls Trilogy. Because it represents the end of the innocent soul, it is starkly darker than the previous two works. This work explored a plethora of human emotions and states, including pain and sorrow, love and hate, spirituality and politics. The first poem, Within, is representative of the bleak tone that is throughout this work. Within Rip my flesh from my bone. Bury me and leave me alone with premonitions of 18 vision stone. The unmarked graves of unselfish slaves. A reminder of dehumanization in back alley caves. A savior in his mortality who tries to save. A treason brought fourth on a black day. A knife in the back that leaves a lasting display. Two faces of the same individual leading in two different ways. A faithless fling that sings with protruding force. A life being a blemish on a disdainful course. A stoic laughter in silence, trying to find its true source. The grains of sands run through my hands. A high stake life with deaths demands. You are no more complex, than I am a simple man. Innocence Lost in a Black Embrace is a thought-provoking collection of poetry that looks at life and people through a different lens. This work may be appreciated by readers of Sylvia Plath.
Imagine the darkest, most evil, and empty places of the mind and soul that can be reached, then imagine yourself on this dark journey . . . Follow me, if you will, to see just how dark the abyss really is . .
In "Battling Earthquakes," Crystal Gail Welcome explores the fragility of human emotions. Crystal Gail's powerful use of language and honest transparency invites readers to journey through intense, confusing, and sometimes frightening emotions. Words, like hands have the ability to tear down Words, like hands have the ability to lift up I've bared witness to the destruction of hands But I have found hope in the power of words... Words have taught me that you cannot silence life "Battling Earthquakes" is beautifully written; in the aftermath of the storm, there is peace as rebuilding begins.
"In Racial Innocence, Robin Bernstein argues that the concept of "childhood innocence" has been central to U.S. racial formation since the mid-nineteenth century. Children--white ones imbued with innocence, black ones excluded from it, and others of color erased by it--figured pivotally in sharply divergent racial agendas from slavery and abolition to antiblack violence and the early civil rights movement. Bernstein takes up a rich archive including books, toys, theatrical props, and domestic knickknacks which she analyzes as "scriptive things" that invite or prompt historically-located practices while allowing for resistance and social improvisation. Integrating performance studies with literary and visual analysis, Bernstein offers singular readings of theatrical productions from blackface minstrelsy to Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; literary works by Joel Chandler Harris, Harriet Wilson, and Frances Hodgson Burnett; material culture including Topsy pincushions, Uncle Tom and Little Eva handkerchiefs, and Raggedy Ann dolls; and visual texts ranging from fine portraiture to advertisements for lard substitute. Throughout, Bernstein shows how "innocence" gradually became the exclusive province of white children--until the Civil Rights Movement succeeded not only in legally desegregating public spaces, but in culturally desegregating the concept of childhood itself." -- Publisher's description.
Nearly three decades after her pioneering anthology, Daughters of Africa, Margaret Busby curates an extraordinary collection of contemporary writing by 200 women writers of African descent, including Zadie Smith, Bernardine Evaristo and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. A glorious portrayal of the richness and range of African women's voices, this major international book brings together their achievements across a wealth of genres. From Antigua to Zimbabwe and Angola to the USA, overlooked artists of the past join key figures, popular contemporaries and emerging writers in paying tribute to the heritage that unites them, the strong links that endure from generation to generation, and their common obstacles around issues of race, gender and class. Bold and insightful, brilliant in its intimacy and universality, this landmark anthology honours the talents of African daughters and the inspiring legacy that connects them-and all of us.
A book of poetry. These are poems from the heart, much of this volume touches on questions of spirituality and faith through a darker lens; there is love lost and hopelessness. Nature's revolt against the flesh and spirit. It is a depressive work.
INNOCENT'S REVENGE IS THE EPIC TALE OF MURDER, DRUGS, SEX AND BETRAYAL. After his release from prison, where he served time on death row for a hideous crime that he did not commit, Innocent comes home a changed man. He can't seem to shake the demons from his head; the racist attacks on his life, the violence, the killings, and the many men that he killed in order to survive life on the Row. He is determined to make a new life for himself and Tamara, his new bride and childhood sweetheart, and her children. He soon discovers that the old adage, you can't make a wife out of a ''hood rat'', is true, when Tamara is caught betraying him. Innocent's world is further devastated when psychopathic madman, Ghetto Bin Laden, kills the one person he loves most, to settle a score with him. Innocent has no choice, but to seek revenge. In his wake, he leaves behind a trail of bodies in the streets of Atlanta, as he searches for the phantom killer Bin. The cops are on his trail and when things seem hopeless, the pimptress Kenisha Williams mysteriously appears. She is willing to help him find Ghetto Bin, but she wants something in return, something that Innocent thought he'd never compromise. How far will Innocent go to get revenge? Will he survive the streets of Atlanta and find the killer before he finds him? Who will be the last man standing? THE EPIC SAGA CONTINUES...
Frye Gaillard has given us a deeply personal history, bringing his keen storyteller’s eye to this pivotal time in American life. He explores the competing story arcs of tragedy and hope through the political and social movements of the times — civil rights, black power, women’s liberation, the War in Vietnam, and the protests against it. But he also examines the cultural manifestations of change — music, literature, art, religion, and science — and so we meet not only the Brothers Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, but also Gloria Steinem, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Harper Lee, Mister Rogers, Rachel Carson, James Baldwin, Andy Warhol, Billy Graham, Thomas Merton, George Wallace, Richard Nixon, Angela Davis, Barry Goldwater, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Berrigan Brothers. “There are many different ways to remember the sixties,” Gaillard writes, “and this is mine. There was in these years the sense of a steady unfolding of time, as if history were on a forced march, and the changes spread to every corner of our lives. As future generations debate the meaning of the decade, I hope to offer a sense of how it felt to have lived it. A Hard Rain is one writer’s reconstruction and remembrance of a transcendent era — one that, for better or worse, lives with us still.”
