		Sofi's Load   by Fania Simon Edition: Paperback $12.00 Availability: Usually ships in 24 Hours	A Brilliant And Moving Story, October 17, 2006 Sofi's Load is a moving and powerful text. It is the author's first novel, and the second book which I have read from her so far, the first being Poetry In Haiti, a must read for anyone interested in Haitian culture crafted in the hands of a literary genius. Once again I find myself enraptured by Ms. Simon's mastery of language and her  superb craftsmanship. She imbues her text with such emotion and artistic sensibility, that as a reader you cannot help but be moved by the power of her words. The novel itself is an inspirational text, filled with endurance and courage against much cruelty and hardship. Sofi's story is not only a personal memoir, but a symbolic metaphor of Haiti and its women-amidst all adversity and persecution the courage and the tenacity to persevere still remains strong. Sofi's Load is a beautifully written novel, one that I'm sure will become a literary classic. I anxiously await for Ms. Simon's forthcoming work.
		Poetry in Haiti by Fania Simon Edition: Paperback Price: $15.00 Availability: Usually ships in 24 Hours	Creating Magic With Words, October 5, 2006 To say that Fania Simon is only a poet would be a mere understatement. She is a prophetic artist, a lyrical genius, who creates magic through her words. Poetry in Haiti is perhaps one of the most moving books I have ever read. A collection of poetry and short stories Ms. Simon successfully imbues her work with the consciousness of her people. From the first verse to the last you are presented with the spirit of Haiti. Her acknowledgements "To Jean J. Dessalines, Toussaint Louverture, Henry Christophe," the forefathers of the Haitian Revolution, firmly roots this text in the blood and spirit of Haiti. The remainder of the pieces carry this message. At once prideful, celebratory, nostalgic, poignant and revolutionary, her words are always moving. This book is a must read for all Haitians, but more significantly for anyone interested in great art and beauty, and is willing to ride on the spiritual pilgrimage to Haiti, that Ms. Simon takes you on.
