Birth Of Light: Poems on a Pathway to Self Acceptance

What does it mean to turn around and face our own heart? To find spiritual direction from unconventional ways of listening and communicating? To use self-awareness to cultivate self acceptance? In a digital world, marketers estimate that the average person is bombarded with as many as 3000 advertisements per day. How can we get an accurate picture of who we are in the confusion of specific messages telling us who we should be? This book magnifies the poetic voice as a tool to combat shame, and identifies the roles pain, love, and faith play in one African American man’s journey to unlock the voice inside.
