Knocking on the window of my soul: Collected Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781699838143)

Knocking on the window of my soul is Janette Grant's latest collection of poetry and this volume may be the most personal and revealing of her published collections thus far. Written following the death of her mother, many of the poems delve deeply into emotionally charged topics such as loss, the soul, the meaning of life, and the necessity of hope and optimism when faced with life's challenges. She shares reflections on her childhood as a black girl growing up in urban America during the height of the crack epidemic, on love and womanhood, and on faith and patience during adversity. Her poems explore concepts of ancestry, legacy, and toxic masculinity in light of the recent "Time's Up" movement with the unique perspective of an African American Muslim woman, and with a steadfastness in faith that encourages forward thinking and positive change.
