    About this ebook

    There are many elements of fire: the Phoenix, which represents rebirth and immortality, the Sun, which provides light and heat and Volcanoes. Volcanoes erupt with hot magma that needs to escape from below the earths surface. The heat is unbearable yet lava is beautiful to view. Many people think of words to escape situations they know they must deal with. There is no form of escapism compared to the eruption of a Volcano.

    Volcano, a collection of poetry, quotes, songs and images melt and mold your mind into shapes unimaginable. It includes words and rhythms created from elements of fiery thoughts and life experiences featuring over seven different poetry styles. The images in the book are the brilliant result of collaboration with various talented artists.

    Jamila collaborated with the Fashion Empowering Women Foundation to support social innovation and literacy. Fashion Empowering Women (FEW) is a non-profit foundation that mobilizes the creative industries of fashion, literature, music and film by creating opportunities for its members to support the missions of social service organizations that empower girls and women. FEW also provides a forum for dialogue and awareness-building about how creative professionals can alleviate the burdens that sexism perpetuates.

    A portion of the proceeds from your purchase is donated to this foundation.

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
