Cornbread, fish and collard greens : prayers, poems & affirmations for people living with HIV/AIDS / editor, Khafre Kujichagulia Abif.

Intimate, powerful, and inspirational, Cornbread, Fish and Collard Greens: Prayers, Poems & Affirmations for People Living with HIV/AIDS gives voice to faith, struggle and triumph. HIV has touched the many collaborators, has affected the poets, essayists and storytellers in so many ways - and this anthology gives them a place to express their interactions, make peace with a simple virus' ability to devastate bodies, families, and whole communities. The writers in this collection have come to an understanding that HIV need not take over and destroy lives. Yet, HIV is not the main character. Triumph, growth and peace are. This anthology expresses the struggle to overcome HIV - for conquest is possible! Be encouraged, reader, for the scores of voices herein have wrestled the monster and won through the overwhelming power of God who intends all things for good."--From jacket.
