Emotionally gutted by a flood of memories after witnessing the video of the brutal murder of George Floyd, Janis wrote about events she experienced over her lifetime. The events she details are common and relatable to African Americans, particularly Black women, who were triggered by the cumulative effects of witnessing the racial upheaval and protests of the summer of 2020. Recollections About Race served as a springboard for her second book, which illuminates her love of poetry. She illustrates in poetic form the common experiences of a Black community living everyday life in America. Poetically Black: Reflections on African American Joy, Sorrow, and Healing, tells the stories of a people who have struggled to survive and heal amidst the impacts of racial trauma. Janis composed most of these poems between 2006 and 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janis Leslie Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949193373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949193374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jahmerican Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Janis Leslie Evans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442732871935,"sku":"9781949193374","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4355cf97-34af-463a-96bf-7a76df794f01.jpg?v=1777199396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetically-black-janis-leslie-evans-9781949193374","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
