Hey beautiful people!!!
This is your girl Until coming to you with "Until's Book of the Week". This book is a book to welcome since this author hasn't written a book in a decade. Who am I talking about? The sensual, beautiful and unafraid, Sonia Sanchez.
She's back with her latest book entitled "Morning Haiku".
For those who are not familiar with what a Haiku is; it is a Japanese way of writing a poem which is written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, 5. I love Haiku's, which is why I had to go get this book. Here is a small example:
I just love the way
Sonia Sanchez writes poems
She is amazing
Please pick up your copy today at
amazon.com for about $14.96. This book celebrates the gifts of life and mourns the death of African American figures in the worlds of music, literature, art and activism.
Maya Angelou gives a quote about this book. She say's "Sonia Sanchez is a lion in literatures forest. When she writes, she roars, and when she sleeps other creatures walk gingerly."
I love that!!!
Don't forget to tune in on Friday's at 7pm to listen to "The Sunset and Gumbo Radio Show" and to hear "Until's Book of the Week".
This is Until giving you a little bit of Sonia Sanchez to you, to refresh your memory of who she is just in case you may have forgotten:
"I gather up each sound you left behind and spread them on our bed. Each night I breathe you and become high". ~Sonia Sanchez
Amazing!!
