Sharp, lyrical poems celebrating the Black vernacular—its influence on pop culture, its necessity for familial survival, its rite in storytelling and in creating the safety found only within its intimacy “Terrific . . . illuminates life in this country in a strikingly original way.”—Ron Charles, The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The New York Public Library • Tordotcom Definition of finna, created by the author: fin·na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to [rooted in African American Vernacular English] (2) eye dialect spelling of “fixing to” (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow These poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy, and the use of the Black vernacular in America’s vast reserve of racial and gendered epithets. Finna explores the erasure of peoples in the American narrative; asks how gendered language can provoke violence; and finally, how the Black vernacular, expands our notions of possibility, giving us a new language of hope: nothing about our people is romantic & it shouldn’t be. our people deserve poetry without meter. we deserve our own jagged rhythm & our own uneven walk towards sun. you make happening happen. we happen to love. this is our greatest action.

This book attempts to equip the reader with a holistic and accessible account of Islam and evolution. It guides the reader through the different variables that have played a part in the ongoing dialogue between Muslim creationists and evolutionists. This work views the discussion through the lens of al-Ghazālī (1058-1111), a widely-known and well-respected Islamic intellectual from the medieval period. By understanding al-Ghazālī as an Ash’arite theologian, a particular strand of Sunni theology, his metaphysical and hermeneutic ideas are taken to explore if and how much Neo-Darwinian evolution can be accepted. It is shown that his ideas can be used to reach an alignment between Islam and Neo-Darwinian evolution. This book offers a detailed examination that seeks to offer clarity if not agreement in the midst of an intense intellectual conflict and polarity amongst Muslims. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars of Science and Religion, Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Islamic Studies, and Religious Studies more generally. *Winner of the International Society for Science & Religion (ISSR) book prize 2022 (academic category)*

"It seems that the Satanists have won, doesn't it? Everything has been turned upside down. The world is frolicking within the death throes of the new age. It's an era of depravity, insolence, and evaporated dreams that have turned into nightmares. The Godless gorge themselves on an unwary comatose public, infatuated with reckless and vain desires, the war has begun. The 7 realms have been infiltrated by demonic generals and Satanic soldiers. All facets of life have been confiscated. Economies, traditions, entertainment, and teaching institutions have been taken over and mutated into something sinister and without mercy. Cities that were once the pearls of the old world have become nothing but ruins of smoke, poverty, and dilapidated infrastructures. Nothing was the same after Babylonia the Great waged a nuclear war on it's rivals.....and even before the Greatest War Waged, the world showed signs of madness and confusion. The GWW was mentioned by the religious scholars of the old world, Armageddon or Malhama Al Kubra, was prophesied by messengers of GOD in periods of time forgotten and lost. Only a few remained vigilant and faithful towards GOD, the balance of the world fell into the clutches of a Satanic regime determined to destroy the essential core of man. Within these perilous times the emergence of the Anti-Christ took center stage. The One-Eyed Chief deceiver became the prominent influencer for the detrimentally lost. The engine of evil. The demonic forces beckoned this diabolical leader's arrival......and when he arrived he unleashed his baggages of debauchery and hatred towards humans. The world was in complete chaos and division..." Although, the Light of the Ineffable can never be extinguished, this is a spiritual law. The demonic insurgence couldn't anticipate the resistance that took place. The psychological nets of stupidity and vanity were supposed to suppress the citizens of the 7 realms...but somehow a band of good humans broke through the indoctrination programs of Babylonia the Great. Some said that they were led by Angels. Some rumors suggested that they were the literal moving hand of GOD. Whatever the gossip, the Satanic generals couldn't have fathomed that there would be a counter force so efficient and surgical in their executions. This is a story of perseverance and an example of the human potential when unity is the defining factor.
