Book Description
How creativity makes its way through feeling—and what we can know and feel through the artistic work of Black women Feeling is not feelin. As the poet, artist, and scholar Bettina Judd argues, feelin, in African American Vernacular English, is how Black women artists approach and produce knowledge as sensation: internal and complex, entangled with pleasure, pain, anger, and joy, and manifesting artistic production itself as the meaning of the work. Through interviews, close readings, and archival research, Judd draws on the fields of affect studies and Black studies to analyze the creative processes and contributions of Black women—from poet Lucille Clifton and musician Avery*Sunshine to visual artists Betye Saar, Joyce J. Scott, and Deana Lawson. Feelin: Creative Practice, Pleasure, and Black Feminist Thought makes a bold and vital intervention in critical theory’s trend toward disembodying feeling as knowledge. Instead, Judd revitalizes current debates in Black studies about the concept of the human and about Black life by considering how discourses on emotion as they are explored by Black women artists offer alternatives to the concept of the human. Judd expands the notions of Black women’s pleasure politics in Black feminist studies that include the erotic, the sexual, the painful, the joyful, the shameful, and the sensations and emotions that yet have no name. In its richly multidisciplinary approach, Feelin calls for the development of research methods that acknowledge creative and emotionally rigorous work as productive by incorporating visual art, narrative, and poetry.

Book Description
What’s so Good about Feelin' Good? is a comprehensive discourse on the brain's system of punishment and rewards. It reveals how the brain provides incentives(good feelins) as a reward for engaging in tasks that assists it in it's effort to survive and unpleasant feelin's/discomfort to dissuade you from engaging in behaviors that may be detrimental to its survival. The resulting behaviors at either end of the spectrum will often assume the form of a compulsion/habit that overtime may become genetically ingrained and lead to a loss of homeostatic emotional balance that the individual may seek to supplement through behaviors that may be defined as compulsive in nature. The abusive use of drugs and alcohol are offered as an example of compulsion-driven behaviors that people develop to cope with the simple act of daily living.

"Slow down, you move too fast You got to make the mornin' last Just kicking down the cobblestones Lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy..." The 59th Street Bridge Song is a lively picture book based on legendary songwriter Paul Simon's classic hit, created when he was one half of the folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel.
