Nominee, 2012 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in Poetry

The poems in Nikky Finney's breathtaking new collection Head Off & Split sustain a sensitive and intense dialogue with emblematic figures and events in African American life: from civil rights matriarch Rosa Parks to former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, from a brazen girl strung out on lightning to a terrified woman abandoned on a rooftop during Hurricane Katrina. Finney's poetic voice is defined by an intimacy that holds a soft yet exacting eye on the erotic, on uncanny political and family events, like her mother's wedding waltz with South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond, and then again on the heartbreaking hilarity of an American president's final State of the Union address.

Artful and intense, Finney's poems ask us to be mindful of what we fraction, fragment, cut off, dice, dishonor, or throw away, powerfully evoking both the lawless and the sublime.

God's Will for Every Situation
Format: Paperback
We all want God's Will! but do we always look for it...try to find it ...search for it... pray for it ... and for every situation? Well, Brenda Kunneman has really addressed all these questions and so many more in this important-to -read book she has written. Following the Introduction this great author leads us directly to Chapter One" 'You Can Know God's Will', and then of importance she teaches in Chapter Eleven 'Finding God's Will For Finding A Church'. This is on prime importance. I know of one church where the main pastors are carrying for years now un-forgiveness in their hearts and are still preaching and teaching. Wow! This is just a great book for all to read and it is a great book for small group studies along with the Bible. Read and grow in the Lord.
