Twisted Linens & Tiny Screams is for "you, the most beautiful stanza in the shortest poem..."
In this reflective tome of poetry jaha walks readers through an emotionally honest journey of the past, the present and the future so you can see yourself on the pages of the book. There are poems about life, poems about saying goodbye, poems about black girl bliss, poetry for inspiration and poetry about being a grown a*s woman.
This collection of poems for black girls are written with a storyteller's voice and are full of rhythms of inspiration.
It is a journey of the most tangible moments of a womanhood as only jaha Knight has discovered it.
I am a poem.
I am thunder, lightening, rain and sun.
I am wild kisses and peekaboo dresses
Laughter and untamed tresses.
I am a poem of a woman.
With contradictions and contracted similes,
metaphors and inappropriate punctuation...and story
D*mn, do I have a story.
I am a generation of defaulted
Oh h*ll nahs! When there should have been a few more h*ll yeses!
I am a mother to a baby
who was a baby
having a baby
when she had her baby
I am a negro spiritual
wrapped in an
emancipation proclamation.
I am a distant moon
trapped in a sunny day
I am a thrill ride
Of deep stomach clenching dips
and incredible death defying highs
I am the tart of lemon
And the soothing of lime
I am a poem of a woman... ©2018
Her love affair with books began really early. The product of a single parent home, oftentimes when her mother would go to work, she'd drop Jaha off at the local library. She would spend her mother's entire shift reading books and escaping into new places. Each time she would leave the library with a bag of books. A well read black girl, Jaha knight is still is a voracious reader.
During those sojourns into another world, she discovered The Color Purple and Alice Walker. After reading that book she quickly discovered Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. When she found Sister Souljah, a seed was planted when she read, The Coldest Winter Ever. Jaha wanted to write books for black girls that focused on black girl bliss, strife and the black experience.
Since that decision, she has written several books. Drama Queens Series, the Reiko Series, Unleash Your Giant & Step into Your Greatness, Twisted Linens and Tiny Screams and more.
