| PAPERBACK | ||||||
| About this Book Through a blend of poerty and prose, A Swan Song explores the "caveat emptor" syndrome of love and relationships, while challenging our obssession with finding Mr. or Ms. Right. With clairvoyant rhythm and undulated pride, Janette Owens takes you on a smooth and lyrical journey to poetic justice and spiritual freedom. From the Publisher Janette Owens is an author to watch. In her first work of fiction, A Swan Song, she received much praise from the African American community. Janette fuses poetry with prose in an intimate collection of poems and revealing short stories. She depicts the nuances of contemporary love and relationships while addressing the social ills that plague our community. She explores how to love a black man and black woman; why our faith inhibits our spiritual and personal growth; how social customs teach us intolerance; and the unhealthy lessons we're teaching our children, and how we can stop it. An appealing and enlightening book, A Swan Song offers a fictionalized view of life through the eyes of a realist. |
