Spirit Crushed by Men But Stirred by God: The Sensitivity Of A Man, Published by Outskirts Press
Baltimore, MD, February 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Sensitivity Of A Man: Prose, Thoughts and Poems About Life, Love, Living and a Man's Search To Find Inner Peace by Everett R. Hubbard. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the African American poetry category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/the_sensitivity_of_a_man was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
From the depths of despair to the heights of true love, Everett R. Hubbard soulfully portrays the full breadth of the human experience in The Sensitivity of a Man.
This remarkable collection of more than sixty poems and short essays is intensely personal in nature yet universal in scope. Here are moving sketches of the spirit-crushing effects of contemporary life on a modern black man -- and the power of faith in God to raise him up from even the lowest lows. All Hubbard’s poems attempt to forge a way out of a cultural mindset that has demanded men -- and particularly black men -- to sequester their emotions from view.
In “Homeless,” Everett examines the interminable connection among all of us and asks what separates the gutter dweller from anyone else. In “Sight Unseen,” a blind man sheds new light on who actually has a physical disability when what really matters is sensing the spirit. In “The Message Pt. 2” Everett urges his brothers toward a renewed respect for women, based on an eternal and sacred bond. “The Streets” casts a wary, but experienced eye on an urban horror scene, asking, “Is this what we’ve reduced ourselves to?” The answer, Everett finds, is no -- as long as we entrust our lives to the Heavenly Father.
At once a stark critique of masculine mores, an examination of challenges faced by the black community, and a stirring call to God, The Sensitivity of a Man will stay with readers long after the book is closed.
Deftly constructed at 124 pages, The Sensitivity Of A Man: Prose, Thoughts and Poems About Life, Love, Living and a Man's Search To Find Inner Peace is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the African American poetry category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Sensitivity Of A Man meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $11.95.
Additionally, The Sensitivity Of A Man can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
