Regina Shepherd Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Hello! I am new here. My name is Regina Shepherd, I am a poet from the Bronx, New York and am interested in a book review for my poetry collection called Lalibela. The ISBN-13 is 978-1724991010, the publication date is July 6, 2024 and it is a paperback priced at $10. Lalibela is an account of coming home. Inspired by stories from the Boogie Down Bronx, this collection is from the perspective of a Black female millennial that left home and returned to its dilapidated realities. Lalibela holds within its reams the fatigue and redemption of a working class family of the African Diaspora in the West: the lively avenues, bus routes, love lives and various cultures preserved in memory and in real-time, as if frozen in place from another, happier time. It creates a legacy of teaching its young hard truths about survival, identity, achievement, failure, faith, death, resilience, life, love and hate. Lalibela is an expression and legacy of survival. Within this small community with limited resources people ponder existentially, pray colossal prayers and resuscitate grit mouth-to-mouth. Say 'yes' to this invitation to come home to yourself, to find that sanctuary for a piece of mind and gain direction to the home that travels with us as we navigate our various and difficult realities. Come to, Lalibela. All are invited to purchase a copy on am*zon and leave a Customer Review to share how the pieces have affected them. Thank you so much for your consideration and support! Here's to building community! -Regina 1
