Finna : poems / Nate Marshall. by Marshall, Nate (Poet). One World, 2020. Call #: 811.6 M369f Subjects Black English -- Poetry.   Race relations -- Poetry.   American poetry -- Black authors.   American poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780593132456 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xii, 114 p. ; 21 cm. 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.
