Description of the Book:
Hymn (n): A book of songs in praise or honor of God
Lamentation (n): The act of expressing grief
This is a collection of poems written at the intersection of travailings, wails, and praise to God through grief, trauma, and the process of healing from the damage done in the name of holiness. These pieces of writing are from the perspective of the untouchables, the forgotten, and wayward lovers of God who still manage to maintain right relationship despite being raised in and rejected by the church and the folks that lead them.

Author's Name: J Renee Sterrett About the Author: J Renee started writing poetry as a 12-year old trying to find ways and reasons to survive. They understood the suffocating effects of silencing (forced and self-inflicted) and used writing as a means to tell their own story; when ears refused to listen blank pages heard every word. J has abandoned writing many times, but it waits in the distance, a home awaiting their eventual return. When J is not writing or thinking about writing they are educating children and adults and dreaming up a liberated and just world where Blackness exists without apology or consequence. J has a BA in Social Work from Xavier University, an MAT from American University and longs for the day when they can decide their concentration and actively pursue their PhD. J writes to heal themself, provide space for others to heal, and to amplify stories that might otherwise go unheard. Book ISBN: 9789357211192
