  Reversible World addresses threats to our planet and its ecosystem. It is a courageous, Whitmanesque, passionate book that urgently concerns itself with time, hope, climate change, science, mythology, and history. Its dazzling use of metaphor surpasses that of other contemporary poets. It has an aura of being concerned with something bigger than we can grasp. The love poems are its shining stars, but in a sense, they are all love poems.

  A Dangerous Poet for Dangerous Times! 
  (Author's narration) 
  Hailed as "an exemplar of epic poetry" (San Francisco Review of Books), Abdiel LeRoy recalls the spirit of Homer, the visions of Milton, the fire of Dante.… 
  1. Elijah 
  Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath... 
    
  But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven. 
  Occasionally raunchy, but always reverent, this book is a revelation in poetic and prophetic fire. 
  “Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance.” 
  Karen Siddall 
  2. Jezebel's Lament 
  Jezebel. Yes, that Jezebel. The queen whose name for millennia has stood for female wickedness. Killer of innocents. Seducer of priests. And the Old Testament's greatest supervillain…. 
  Or so our Bible writers would have you believe! In this channeled message, part royal rant, part saucy confession, Jezebel tries to set the record straight. 
  3. Obama's Dream 
  Like another Elijah, LeRoy tears down the façade of empire in this epic poem sent to the White House in 2015, taking the president on a Scrooge-like journey through time and space and otherworldly encounter, even to the throne of God! 
  Yet this verse novel is woven with comedic scenes throughout, testifying to the wit of a master storyteller. 
  "A new realm of reading."

  Sahra ChristIn a world of relatively extreme interconnection, narratives have the same power on and in our brains, but their source is most of the times distant, fake or simply irrelevant to us....You can see that you immediately try to "understand" the "story" in a time, space and emotions (intentions) fabric. It is brought to you via language and the story is your narrative. The sentences seem incomplete, but why should there be any connection at all? It's just random sentences through a medium after all. "You have to listen to Kanye West's "All Mine" while reading this book"

  Rehema Njambi

  Rehema Njambi unpacks identity, faith, womanhood and – above all – agency, in poems partly inspired by conversations with the Black, mostly African, women around her.
  
  Imbued with quiet resistance to patriarchal societies, Njambi's debut collection is an ode to the women who have raised her, and their strength and their ability to hold, sustain, and be rooted in their faith. The poems resound with their idea of home, and belonging they wish to pass on to their daughters.
  GHOSTS IN THIS HOUSE
  There were footsteps in the dark all night,
  
  almost every night, and we were scared —
  
  but we didn't say a thing.
  She called us to prayer in the morning, every morning.
  
  With our small hands and smaller faith
  we asked the Lord for protection —
  
  but He didn't say a thing.
