Publisher's Synopsis
From the influences of Ntozake Shange's ("For Colored Girls"), Nikki Giovanni's ("Eagle Trippin"), and Mya Angelou's ("Phenomenal Woman") Natasha Session Kanu has developed a style of her own in her new book "LifenSession: a diary of thoughts," which is sure to be only the first book in her NSession series. "LifenSession," is a testament to all the things that women deal with in life while trying to live upright in an upside down world. Topics such as love, relationships, confidence, faith, and religion are all things that are both personal and real to the author as she chronicles her deepest thoughts, feelings and fears in this amazing read of empowerment, endurance, encouragement, and self- discovery. "I think these poems may say some of the things we wish we could say or had the nerve to say in certain situations without coming off as unsocial, rude, or recluse. Women already have a stereotype of being nagging and emotional but sometimes our nagging and emotion comes from a much deeper place then is originally perceived, I just hope women will read my work and feel liberated to be who they are or even relieved of their innermost fears. In the same light I hope men will read it with their women and understand some of the struggles they go through and how to love their women through it all. Although I realize that every person's journey is not the same, I also know that I am not alone in her own journey."
