Spherical Woman
Kysha Brown Robinson is a vital new voice: insightful, courageous, substantive and compelling. A book for the times you need reassuring there is hope that the future of African American poetry is in the competent hands of a sensitive craftsperson. -Mari Evans There are no real secrets in life: only truths we try to hide but which a tear, a smile, a touch, a sibling or an unborn, a lover or task undone always reveals. For finally we are more than our faults, less than our grand accomplishments-we are ships on life's ocean, seeking, searching for human berth. And this book is a captain's journal. -Kalamu ya Salaam

A LOST BOY TO A FOUND MAN
Desmond Edmond decided to present his talent for writing in a form rarely seen in poetry books. he presents an autobiographical storyline in A LOST BOY TO A FOUND MAN. With firm grabse of his talent he meticulously shows the reader his development of emotional stability and a belief in God that hitched a ride along the way. for this, any reader who loves books, especially ones of poetry, gets a rare read of his first poems and pieces of prose. Most writers, of any kind, can only share memories of what they wrote when first starting out. Uniquely, Desmond is able to spoon feed the reader with poems and pieces of prose that date back to 1996, such as STRIFE and 1997, such as AFRIKA/AMERICA. another poem titled JUST SOME WORDS gives visceral feelings when reading it, written in 2005. Viewing Desmond through this progressive lens like his poem YOU AND US, and then looking at poems such as NIKKI GIOVANNI, LION, MAROONS, SUNSHINE and surely to be a favorite THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM, the reader can actually witness the development of a writing style that is meant for the world to read. Rare indeed.
