Fahnlohnee R. H. Tate's I Am A VERB is a treasure chest full of profound and striking verses; the first book of poetry that dares to interlock your public lady persona, private lover enthusiast, and church woman all at the same round table as they celebrate one another Every expressive phrase and every poignant thought embodies the pages of this empowering, lyrical and inspirational publication. From her bold declarations of womanhood and its' complexities in the trilogy of verb poems- I Am A VERB (I am a verb/ The Goddess of you/ Sweet Tender/ Fiercely Unforgiving/Unforgettable/You), I AM ( I called myself a whore today/Jezebel, femme fatale, courtesan some say/...Did you make me that?/ Or did my nature sign the pact) and Verb Revelation (Here I am/In all my splendour/ Irrefutable Grandeur/ Imbibe my sumptuousness) to her courageous, heart wrenching tribute to survivors of abuse in I Want To Know You, a transparent account and ultimately the anthem of anthems in her Thriving movement. Tate's timeless compilation of poems, original artworks, and privileged journal thoughts extends its' reach through humble prayers and prose to the risky and raunchy with a seamless sense of grace and honor, yet fierce abandonment that will fashion women to roar and men to applaud. Her distinctive style, along with her intrigue and lustrous resonance of thought and feelings about life, love and womanhood are sure to introduce and firmly establish her as a resounding literary voice of our time, poet, feminist, entertainer, and more- A VERB for the ages.
