DJGBC Authors Spotlight: Everett R. Hubbard “The Sensitivity of a Man”

“The Sensitivity of a Man: Prose & Poems About Life, Love, Living and a Man’s Search to Find Inner Peace” Everett R. Hubbard

22Mar
The purpose of this book isn’t to preach about one thing or another. It is only meant to explain the sensitivity of a man, and the things in my life that affect every aspect of my being-through my experiences with GOD, nature, myself and people, touching upon your heart my reason for living. What I’d like for you to do is to sit back, relax and read, as I recite my life through these words. Feel the joys and pains of my conception to manhood, as this infant of a man takes hold of his umbilical cord to life. Author / Poet Everett Hubbard
 
 
From the depths of despair to heights of true love, Everett R. Hubbard soulfully portrays the full breadth of the human experience in The Sensitivity of a Man. This remarkable collection of more than 60 poems and short essays is intensely personal in nature yet universal in scope. Here are moving sketches of the spirit-crushing effects of contemporary …life on a modern black man—and the power of faith in God to raise him up from even the lowest lows. All of them attempt to forge a way out of a cultural mindset that has demanded men—and particularly black men—to sequester their emotions from view. In “Homeless,” Everett examines the interminable connection among all of us and asks what separates the gutter dweller from anyone else. In “Sight Unseen,” a blind man sheds new light on who actually has a physical disability when what really matters is sensing the spirit. In “The Message Pt. 2,” Everett urges his brothers toward a renewed respect for women, based on an eternal and sacred bond. And “The Streets” casts a wary but experienced eye on an urban horror scene, asking, “Is this what we’ve reduced ourselves to?” The answer, Everett finds, is no—as long as we entrust our lives to the Heavenly Father. At once a stark critique of masculine mores, examination of challenges faced by the black community, and stirring call to God, The Sensitivity of a Man will stay with you long after the book is closed.
 
Everett R. Hubbard was born and raised in Baltimore, where he witnessed many of its changes—for good and bad. He currently lives in Gwynn Oak, Md. The Sensitivity of a Man is his first book.
 
A Must Read!!!!,March 2, 2011

 

This review is from: The Sensitivity of a Man: Prose, Thoughts and Poems About Life, Love, Living and a Man’s Search to Find Inner Peace (Paperback)

This is an inspiring arrangement of poetry, thoughts, and just a man’s perspective of the world. Although I am not a man I can learn about how a man thinks, feels, and views life through this book. I reccommend that women give this book to your man, father, brother, and friends. This is a definite MUST READ!!!

DJGBC Authors Spotlight: Glynda Gamble – Linton

29Mar

 

Glynda Linton is a native of Florida and currently lives and work in Plantation, Florida as the National Secretary Treasurer of her Union. Shoes on the Wrong Foot, is her first published work. Glynda is a native Floridian and attended Miami-Dade Community College, studying Early Childhood Education. After one year she changed her major to Business and transferred to Barry University and Nova University, where she also studied Labor Law. She is divorced and has 3 sons, Corey (deceased), Darryl and Christopher. Her passion as a community and political activist has been her lifelong work, she spends her time giving back to her communities by getting involved in organizations like Salvation Army Homeless Shelter, All Children’s Hospital Cancer Center, Cooperative Feeding Food Bank and Women in Distress, which helped lend some of the experiences CeCe Copeland has endured. A twelve years Breast Cancer Survivor and avid reader, Glynda decided that it was time she contributed back to the Literary World. Linton is already at work on her second novel as CeCe Copeland is continuing her quest for true love.
 
 
 
 
 
Her latest book entitled simply “Shoes on the wrong foot
is a journey in the life of CeCe Copeland, a single mom who while young and ambitious and full of adventure was soon met with the reality in the world of men. CeCe had dreams of being a mover and shaker in the corporate world, she developed a style of leadership that caught the eye of her corporate office and landed her the head of their Public Relations Department. In her personal life, she soon came to realize that although she could stand up to the challenges of her business associates, she lacked that same drive when dealing with the men in her life. In her quest for true love she met Tony, who introduced her to a life of domestic violence and insecurities; she was subjected to some of the most humiliating situations that finally gave her the courage to run away on the eve of their wedding.
Her best friend Charmaine introduced her to Devon, the man who would eventually became her husband. Devon was tall and athletic and instantly builds a relationship with her and Craig; she believed that her soul mate had finally arrived. Shortly after their marriage CeCe and Devon had two more sons, Devon Jr. and Ty, but that loving man that she had married started showing a pattern of behavior that both frightened her and cornered her into a position of submission, while struggling with the reality of facing domestic violence once again, gave her the courage to leave him, but more drama awaits. Carl is a generous Business owner who showers her with affections and gifts, but has a dangerous side to him that no one sees coming. CeCe realized that as wonderful as love is, it can be as uncomfortable as “Shoes on the Wrong
Foot”.
*Shoes On The Wron Foot Is Available @ Amazon,com

DJGBC Authors Spotlight: Madlen Namro “Commandos”

DJGBC Authors Spotlight: Madlen Namro “Commandos”

03Apr

Madlen Namro was born in Lodz, Poland. When she was seven, maybe eight years old, children in her school used to call her Pippi Longstocking, because she would always make up stories and generally pull everyone’s leg all the time. In fact her daydreams of being a writer got serious enough for her parents to be called to school. The teacher downright told them that the best way to deal with it would be to make her commit it all to paper. So, when she was around nine, her first book was written, it was called “Talking Dog and Me”. That’s how her adventure with writing begun. She’s always seemed to have a rather lively imagination and making up stories has always been her second nature, something she never had trouble with. She believes it to be a gift from God and one that she was meant to use.

DJGBC Authors Spotlight: Wahida Clark “Payback Ain’t Enough”

DJGBC Authors Spotlight: Wahida Clark “Payback Ain’t Enough”

14Apr

She is crowned the Queen of Thug Love Fiction by Nikki Turner, but since has been crowned the Queen of Street Literature. Wahida’s style of writing is the “template” for urban literature.

Wahida Clark created the Thug Love Fiction genre, which is a sub-genre of street lit as cited in “The Reader’s Guide to Street Literature”, by Vanessa Irvin Morris. Clark is also the first street lit author to pen a series, thus establishing the trend. When you read her novels, they are so real you are convinced of one of three things: you know the characters; you want to know the characters; or you are one of the characters.

DJGBC Interview: Madlen Namro Author of “Commandos”

08Apr

  1. Where are you from?

I come from a place, where I enjoy all the four seasons of the year, which is something really great. We have hot summers, frosty winters, golden autumns and jasmine-scented springs. We also have delicious cuisine, places of breathtaking natural beauty – from the amber beaches of the north to the snow covered peaks and high mountain lakes in the south, lush forests, the stunning lake district of the Mazuras, and above all a fascinating culture and history. This is Poland.
