  Woman Eat Me Whole - Poems

  Ama Asantewa Diaka

  • 0

  A bold, mesmerizing debut collection exploring womanhood, the body, mental illness, and what it means to move between cultures  
  Renowned for her storytelling and spoken-word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka is also an exultant, fierce, and visceral poet whose work leaves a lasting impact. 
  Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease. 
  Vivid and bodily while also deeply cerebral, Woman, Eat Me Whole is a searing debut collection from a poet with an inimitable voice and vision.

  Angels Everywhere - Poems

  "The word 'angel' means 'messenger' and the title poem of this book, 'Angels Everywhere,' presents the idea that what I often glimpse is a flicker of glancing light, as if a heavenly being is darting in and out of my viewing, allowing me entry into a realm beyond my physical, experiential world—brief revelatory messages from somewhere beyond. I'm hoping that as you read these poems, (more than once, aloud if possible) something like Wordsworth's 'intimations of immortality' will enliven your own perceptions of the world as you experience it. Maybe your own fleet of angels will show up!" —Luci Shaw, from the Introduction
  
  Angels Everywhere is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

  Leaves of Grass is a groundbreaking collection of poems by Walt Whitman, often hailed as the most influential American poet of the 19th century. Known for its unconventional themes and free verse style, the work challenged traditional poetic conventions and established Whitman as a revolutionary figure in American literature. 
  At the heart of Leaves of Grass is a celebration of the individual, the body, and the natural world. Whitman's poetry often explores themes of democracy, equality, and the interconnectedness of all things. The collection is filled with vivid imagery, powerful metaphors, and a sense of boundless optimism. 
  One of the most striking aspects of Leaves of Grass is Whitman's use of free verse. By abandoning traditional poetic structures, he was able to capture the rhythm and cadence of everyday speech. This innovation allowed him to express his ideas with greater freedom and spontaneity
