DOWNLOAD EBOOKBecause literature needed to be extended across oceans, over mountaintop heights and/or valley lows by our ancestors, a bridge was assembled to link the messages through poetry to the masses by networking one to another. It interconnected the past to the present and together, the bond operates as a linkage toward the future. Their device was genius and the dialect was sheer brilliance. A bridge over troubled water served our ancestors purpose of preserving the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBreaking the Silence is the first comprehensive collection of literature from Liberia since before the nation's independence. Patricia Jabbeh Wesley has gathered work from the 1800s to the present, including poets and emerging young writers exploring contemporary literary traditions with African and African diaspora poetry that transcends borders. In this collection, Liberia's founding settlers wrestle with their identity as African free slaves in the homeland from which their ancestors were captured, and writers of the early twentieth and twenty-first centuries find themselves navigating a landscape at odds with itself. From poets of Liberia's past to young writers of the present, the contributors to this volume celebrate the beauty of their nation while mourning the devastation of a long, bloody civil war.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRape, Is Rape, Is Rape, Is Rape; No Means No, by Reneé Drummond-Brown, sheds light on sexual intercourse carried out forcibly, and/or with a person incapable of granting permission thus making the subject of rape extremely touchy, and victims left-torn with guilt and shame. This book captures physical and psychological torment at the highest-level bringing awareness to the blind who want to maintain the status quo by not challenging the broke system. Drummond-Brown's poetry book claps back on the status quo without mincing words. The author is very vocal and direct in showing the unlawful sex acts brilliantly depicted in poetic form coupled with symbolic pictorial illustrations that tell the story from the rape victim's perspective, who oftentimes is silent and uncomfortable in expressing such ugliness committed on their vulnerable bodies. The book aims to help survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking by placing accountability and blame where it belongs rather than silencing innocent victims of this outrageous violation carried out by men, women, and yes, even cops, teachers, and priest who are often portrayed as "the good guys."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Hope-Line IF Suicide Runs Through the Mind Book of Poems, builds a bridge for people who experience anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Depression has no respect of person, place or things, and can affect any race, age, social class, and/or sexual orientation. Signs and behaviors are often missed, therefore, it's extremely important to lend an ear, and listen for silent cries. This poetry book aims to go out to the deep-end, letting our love-ones know that we are all in the same boat, and if, truth be told, several others have experienced those same thoughts. Transparency and communication are key when building trust, therefore, these poems are prescribed by a poet who truly cares. It's not about me, myself, and I, it's about us, we, and our togetherness to make a difference.
