You will feel The Punany Poets' inspiration and Jessica Holter’s raw influence in this gripping anthology by people like you! Like her sisters in the series, Punany The Hip Hop Psalms III, The Onliners is a page-turning quest into the sensual and emotional minds of multiple writers. But this time, the writers are fans motivated by The Punany Poets' HBO Real Sex feature and Ghetto Girl Blue’s gritty blues and revelations. The Onliners is a sweet, savory slice of American literature with a sweet and savory center and rough, urban edges, served in a Coffy Shop in Any Ghetto, USA. You will dine with characters that might remind you of people you know in real life, some who came to spill fantasy tea, and some who came looking for you to help them bear the heavy weight of their misappropriated sexuality. Like all of Jessica Holter’s books of psalms, this collection of poetry, short stories, prose, and personal notes on love, lust, and manipulation, The Onliners best served to readers with an open mind.
