Lisa J. Smallwood

Opis

It seems the elegant, rising star of poet, Lisa J. Smallwood, has everyone talking. First to take notice was New Black Hollywood Magazine, followed by the Los Angeles 'Million Women March' and now the NAACP. Smallwood's collection is unabashed, deeply introspective and, oh so articulate. Drawn from real-life experience, Smallwood has the rare ability to take us on a journey of splendid persuasions, ranging from the quiet moments of a misty morning in her garden, to the soul's deepest contemplation of despair. Unlike any other poem, her epic 'Abuse 101' sounds the alarm for female empowerment, while her now famous 'Sisters My Sisters' completes her anthology to poetic stardom. Her most recent work -- 'Why, Trayvon, Why' cries of the injustice perpetrated against a young full of promise. With ghostly images that transcend each poem, Lisa J. Smallwood speaks to every reader near and far, leaving no one behind. Her work makes an excellent gift for anyone in need of stillness and soothing.
