Book Description
Journey to Wisconsin; African American Life in Haiku is the story of African American Nathaniel and Cynthia Owns, who came to live Baraboo, Wisconsin in the 1800's and have seven generations remaining in the state. Their story testifies to African Americans being in Wisconsin as productive citizens from the 1700's to present day. The true story of the Own family is written in narrative poetry, while the remainder of the book translates the African American experience in the United States from freedom in African, through enslavement, segregation, Civil Rights and contemporary life. This is an absorbing combination of history, scholarship and poetry.

Love Poems is divided into four categories; Spiritual Love, Family Love, Love for People & Ideals and Romantic Love. Fabu writes in her introduction that "all kinds of love are integral to our lives and need to be fully explored and expressed."

Poems, Dreams & Roses encourages youth to write poetry. It is about Poet Fabu's growth in the literary arts from a child to an adult. It includes photographs and hand-drawn illustrations. In Our Own Tongues chronicles Fabu's experiences as a graduate student attached to the University of Nairobi, and later as lecturer in African American Literature and Caribbean Literature at the Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya. This book looks at three generations of southern women, the English they spoke and the history of their lives. In Our Own Tongues' first printing was by The University of Nairobi press and is currently being taught in the Department of Literature. Journey to Wisconsin: African American Life in Haiku follows the journey of enslaved Africans from Africa to the South and on to the Midwest in hopes of better lives. A narrative poem about Nathaniel Owens begins each section because Nathaniel Owens was brought as a child to Baraboo, Wisconsin and there are seven generations of his family in Wisconsin. Haiku fills the rest of the book. This book won an Outstanding Achievement in Poetry Award from the Wisconsin Library Association. The last book, Mary Lou Williams in Poetry is forthcoming. The result of careful research, the book traces the life of the child piano prodigy Mary Lou Williams into the jazz great that she became as an adult woman. Some of the poems have the same title as Mary Lou Williams's compositions. This book awakens the public through poetry to the often forgotten jazz genius who spanned six decades of jazz.

Book Description
This new volume by the much-loved poet Sonia Sanchez, her first in over a decade, is music to the ears: a collection of haiku that celebrates the gifts of life and mourns the deaths of revered African American figures in the worlds of music, literature, art, and activism. In her verses, we hear the sounds of Max Roach "exploding in the universe," the "blue hallelujahs" of the Philadelphia Murals, and the voice of Odetta "thundering out of the earth." Sanchez sings the praises of contemporaries whose poetic alchemy turns "words into gems": Maya Angelou, Richard Long, and Toni Morrison. And she pays homage to peace workers and civil rights activists from Rosa Parks and Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm to Brother Damu, founder of the National Black Environmental Justice Network. Often arranged in strings of twelve or more, the haiku flow one into the other in a steady song of commemoration. Sometimes deceptively simple, her lyrics hold a very powerful load of emotion and meaning. There are intimate verses here for family and friends, verses of profound loss and silence, of courage and resilience. Sanchez is innovative, composing haiku in new forms, including a section of moving two-line poems that reflect on the long wake of 9/11. In a brief and personal opening essay, the poet explains her deep appreciation for haiku as an art form. With its touching portraits and by turns uplifting and heartbreaking lyrics, Morning Haiku contains some of Sanchez's freshest, most poignant work.
