The poems in the second edition of Jessica Walsh's HOW TO BREAK MY NECK are palpable. With tales of mortality, morality, womanhood, and breaths of life often unnoticed or taken for granted, Walsh transfigures words into strokes of paint that blend into a zenful yet heart-wrenching portrait of the world women live in. With new poems not previously seen in the first edition, HOW TO BREAK MY NECK is not only beautiful and mournful, but new, fresh, breathing, and very much alive.

When I thought of the title Pain in the Butt, I meant it figuratively, since I do not even have sensation there! As I have shared my title with people through the years, the reaction is always a laugh, as I had hoped to invoke humor. I wrote it with that in mind. I hope once you read my book, you will see despite the turn my life took on that, fateful day in December, I not only survived the tragedy but went on to live an exuberant and joyful life, “Joie de Vivre.”

She thinks she can be my salvation. But I’m well beyond redemption… The moment the door opens, I see it in her eyes. Recognition. Horror. Fear. She knows who I am. What I am. And she knows I won’t hesitate to hurt her if she doesn’t obey. What she can’t possibly know is how much I want her. How much I ache to feel her soft skin beneath my fingers, to claim her body in every brutal, violent way only a man like me can imagine. But no matter how beautiful she is, all tied up and helpless, no matter that her pleas for mercy tug at the heart she doesn’t believe I have, giving her even a second of tenderness is a liability. A weakness I can’t afford. Because I’m a wanted man… and I will die before I let them drag me back to that hell they call prison.

These twelve dazzling stories from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — the Orange Broadband Prize–winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun — are her most intimate works to date. In these stories Adichie turns her penetrating eye to the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the United States. In “A Private Experience,” a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman, and the young mother at the centre of “Imitation” finds her comfortable life in Philadelphia threatened when she learns that her husband has moved his mistress into their Lagos home. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Adichie’s prodigious literary powers.
