My Name Is Pronounced Holy: A Collection of Poems, Prayers, Rememberings, & Reclamation

by Sha'condria Sices-Sibley, Nine Pages Media (Editor)

This book is hip-hop cypher and hymn, rallying cry and down-home blues song, all beating from the heart of celebrated poet/writer Sha'Condria "iCon” Sices-Sibley. It is an excavation of Blkness and Womanhood, and a remembrance bigger than self, yet integral to the deepest inner knowing. An exquisite page-turner, My Name Is Pronounced Holy is a necessary and immediately classic body of work.

You know those books that you pick up and immediately know you’ll be recommending it to friends for a long time to come? This is one of them. I bought a copy of My Name Is Pronounced Holy by New Orleans poet Sha'Condria Sices-Sibley over the weekend, and I’ve already read through it three times.

I love my sister.

These words -- I can taste, touch and hear. I know these people. I know this imagery. I know this land. I know this mother tongue, sister tongue and I am glad my sister has put these words to page for generations to come!

This book is a blessing.
