High Yellow.But a Black Woman Forever More!

Boy, has this been one heck of a spiritual journey! Little did I know that the path leading to the Kingdom of God would take me into and through the bowels of hell, but I made it there and back. All I can say is thank God for God, His goodness, grace and mercy.-From the Introduction to "High Yellow" But A Black Woman Forever More! A Poetic Anthology of a Spiritual JourneyIt is said that to know one's self is the key to reaching new horizons and maximizing human potential-and it's true. But, truly knowing one's self without knowing one's spiritual identity is akin to a person who is physically blind driving a car. It's absolutely impossible.In "High Yellow" But A Black Woman Forever More! A Poetic Anthology of a Spiritual Journey, author Deborah M. Cofer highlights her efforts and sacrifices as she explores her inner self, others, and the world around her. Every poem is its own unique story of "bringing to the surface, hashing out, understanding, and making peace with" struggle in order to arrive at new heights in her evolution, both as a woman and as a member of the human race. Cofer's poetic accounts are both powerful and deeply profound.

Deborah M. Cofer is a New Age ?shepherd? whose ?church without walls, ceilings, or shackles? concept, although somewhat radical in a world where most children of God have been reconditioned to respond to the traditional dictates and doctrines of plantation religion, enables both her and those who graze in her pasture to spread their wings and fly as high and far into the ?Heavens? as each is ready, willing, and able to go. She lives in Harlem, New York and is the author of NO PROCESS?NO PROMISE! A Modern Day Testament to the Goodness and Glory of God.
