Summary:
"Definition of
Finna
, created by the author: fin na /'fine/ contraction: (1) going to ; intending to. rooted in African American Vernacular English. (2) eye dialect spelling of "fixing to." (3) Black possibility ; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow. A lyrical and sharp celebration, these
poems
consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy. In three key parts,
Finna
explores the mythos and erasure of names in the American narrative; asks how gendered language can provoke violence; and finally, through the celebration and examination of the Black vernacular, expands the notions of possibility, giving us a new language of hope"--From publisher.
