Dare to Dance in the Rain is a writing that challenges the reader to venture outside of societal norms of responding negatively to hardships and embrace a Christ-centered response. It is an invitation to integrate a joyful and worshipful attitude in the face of stormy life circumstances. This approach is illustrated through testimonies from the author's life experiences during which she danced her way out of dire situations by committing to a lifestyle of consistently worshipping God. If you have been feeling boxed in and frustrated by trying moments this book will activate the worshipper within you and ignite you to adapt a faith-filled outlook characterized by authentic praise and worship right in the middle of the storm.

A timely collection of deeply personal, uplifting, and powerful essays that celebrate the redemptive strength of Black joy--in the vein of Black Girls Rock, You Are Your Best Thing, and I Really Needed This Today. When Tracey M. Lewis-Giggetts wrote an essay on Black joy for The Washington Post, she had no idea just how deeply it would resonate. But the outpouring of responses affirmed her own lived experience: that Black joy is not just a weapon of resistance, it is a tool for resilience. With this book, Tracey aims to gift her community with a collection of lyrical essays about the way joy has evolved, even in the midst of trauma, in her own life. Detailing these instances of joy in the context of Black culture allows us to recognize the power of Black joy as a resource to draw upon, and to challenge the one-note narratives of Black life as solely comprised of trauma and hardship. Black Joy is a collection that will recharge you. It is the kind of book that is passed between friends and offers both challenge and comfort at the end of a long day. It is an answer for anyone who needs confirmation that they are not alone and a brave place to quiet their mind and heal their soul.

Winner of the prestigious Tupelo Press Dorset Prize, selected by poet and MacArthur "genius grant" recipient Eleanor Wilner who says, "I'm so happy to have a manuscript that I believe in so powerfully, poetry with such a deep music. I love it." One might spend a lifetime reading books by emerging poets without finding the real thing, the writer who (to paraphrase Emily Dickinson) can take the top of your head off. Kaminsky is the real thing. Impossibly young, this Russian immigrant makes the English language sing with the sheer force of his music, a wondrous irony, as Ilya Kaminsky has been deaf since the age of four. In Odessa itself, "A city famous for its drunk tailors, huge gravestones of rabbis, horse owners and horse thieves, and most of all, for its stuffed and baked fish," Kaminksy dances with the strangest — and the most recognizable — of our bedfellows in a distinctive and utterly brilliant language, a language so particular and deft that it transcends all of our expectations, and is by turns luminous and universal.

Samuel Alozie Onyeche's 'Ijikrika; Canticles from Africa' is aged: like a Sage's counsels on life's mine-infested tuft. Thoughtful for our joys, Onyeche, like a Goldsmith, carefully and jealously laced his work with solar plexus-caressing mores and proverbs: Atones the silence of the duck fowl, teaching a great lesson to both the thievery eagle and chest-beating, effusive man. Chief Anthony Ndubuisi Abagha, Author of, 'The Children of Oloibiri' and twenty five other creative works in all genres, Nigeria. Samuel Alozie Onyeche is an English poet from Nigeria. The quality of his poetry is rarely found in contemporary poetry. You can simply call him an extraordinary poet. are As soon as the first page of his poetry is turned, the sweet fragrance of Africa begins to spread everywhere. Far-reaching primeval forests, eternal rains, million-year-old cave dwellings, colorful wildlife, sky-high mountains, earth-age lakes, ancient civilizations, breath-taking hunger and street-to-street violence. Dr. Jawaz Jafri: Winner of Human Rights National Ward And Frang Bordhi Prize.Professor of Literature at the College of Science Lahore (Pakistan) At first glance, I see Samual Alozie Onyeche to be very eloquent and well versed within the modern English Language. His variety in both complex and basic wording , accompanied with the importance of punctuation has and shall stand him in good stead. Stuart Dann.Poet. United Kingdom.

“A voraciously readable page-turner of a novel.”—Cory Doctorow “A razor-smart sci-fi corporate noir nightmare. Dare to Know is what happens when Willy Loman sees through the Matrix.”—Daniel Kraus, co-author of The Shape of Water This mind-bending and emotional speculative thriller is set in a world where the exact moment of your death can be predicted—for a price. Our narrator is the most talented salesperson at Dare to Know, an enigmatic company that has developed the technology to predict anyone’s death down to the second. Divorced, estranged from his sons, and broke, he's driven to violate the cardinal rule of the business by forecasting his own death day. The problem: his prediction says he died twenty-three minutes ago. The only person who can confirm its accuracy is Julia, the woman he loved and lost during his rise up the ranks of Dare to Know. As he travels across the country to see her, he’s forced to confront his past, the choices he's made, and the terrifying truth about the company he works for. Wildly ambitious and highly immersive, this thought-provoking thriller explores the destructive power of knowledge and collapses the boundaries between reality, myth, and conspiracy as it races toward its shocking conclusion.
