"She justly leaves me hungry for more….

Castina Charles storms the poetry world once again with an outstanding, personal, compelling set of poetry. With poems like “Smile,” “I See Dahomey in Your Cheekbones,” “Strength,” and “Letting it All Go,” she vocally, penetratingly opens a window to the spirit within; to stimulate true beauty that is often unvoiced, but always present— and set apart from the flesh. Her emotions are well expressed...

This is one of those books to add to my "Books that I must read more than once" mantelpiece. She justly leaves me hungry for more…. "

In My Naked Flesh Took Me Out of My Flesh

* * * * * * 25 Jul 2007

 

"I just finished reading "In My Naked Flesh" and I am still trying to gather my thoughts and emotions in order to fully explain how much I enjoyed this book. Actually, I think this is the author's best work thus far. As I was centering into her flow of words, I became extra thankful that God allowed this author and myself to cross paths. Castina, you are indeed a beautiful young soul with a powerful mind. In my eyes, your heart, your vision, your words, and your unique sense of expression make you a genius. You are indeed a treasure to our heritage.

I love every piece in that book because... deeply, like a recent memory, I can see every scene being played out in front of me. I can hear the child inside the author; I can also hear the struggling adult inside her words of consciousness. I see the hunger for life and I can relate to it all.

Thank God for you. This world needs more people like you!

With much love & maximum respect."  fania simon
