God Don't Like Ugly...And Is Not Too Fond of Pretty Either

"This new volume of poetry and prose further examines the state of violence in our communities, the workplace, and intimate relationships. I also explore hope, restored relationships, love, and power... I humbly ask that as you read each piece, that you allow yourself to re-connect to humanity."The latest work by author, educator, and self-proclaimed "mompreneur" Kecia Brown McManus creates what she calls a "Love Space" to process some of the ugliness we are experiencing in the world today. The title paraphrases a scripture from the Bible's Book of Acts noting that God does not discriminate; the beauty and ugliness of life is experienced by us all. In her second book of poetry and prose, Brown McManus examines dis-ease in the forms of various disasters of our own doing (toxic RELEASE), as well as invites us to bask in moments of love and justice (BREATHE in hope). Her wish is for her audience to find the encouragement needed to re-connect to their sense of purpose, gain perspective, and revive the necessary courage to move forward. Forthcoming works by the author are The Love of Ten Thousand, a children's book to be released in September of 2018, and a compilation of short stories and poems entitled There Is Room In The Kitchen For You: Words of Love to Men of Color. Her first self-published work, Humanity's Cup: Tales from the Inner Circle is available on Amazon.
