Silent Ebony
Jesse Yaw’s upcoming new poetry release Silent Ebony explores Jesse Yaw’s most intimate, profound, collections of poetry and prose, which unravels and probes the most intricate and complex aspects of human nature, such as love, rejection, pain, trauma, faith, abuse, identity, war, relationships, family ties and pathology.
It also explores racial injustice, and trauma on black children from African civil wars, using a myriad of carefully woven tactile and visual imagery, using personification as a means to allow readers to draw close to his mind, spirit, and soul.
Jesse’s poetry collection unashamedly addresses current political issues such as black political identity, the violation of black female pathology, and the struggle for freedom and racial equality.
The collection of poetry serves as a sacred text, which provides healing, community, and an outpouring for the pure and fearless voices of those who are marginalized, and those who seek freedom. Providing a powerful and formidable social commentary on the state of modern society in a globalised world.
He explores contemporary, as well as historical, political, and psychological issues, particularly in relation to pain, trauma, and stereotypes, Jesse acknowledges that the re-education of the mind is central to the true emancipation of African descendants and that poetry is the flute of life that allows humans to see and feel each other free of judgment and pain.
Jesse Yaw takes us through the tragic rubik facets of human life in its many forms, using unique tactile, visual, and olfactory images to draw living images and pictures in the reader’s mind causing emotional effects, exploring through prose and poetry the complexities of modern life and society, calling on us to hold onto the holy father.
