Nominee, 2012 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in Poetry

The poems in Nikky Finney's breathtaking new collection Head Off & Split sustain a sensitive and intense dialogue with emblematic figures and events in African American life: from civil rights matriarch Rosa Parks to former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, from a brazen girl strung out on lightning to a terrified woman abandoned on a rooftop during Hurricane Katrina. Finney's poetic voice is defined by an intimacy that holds a soft yet exacting eye on the erotic, on uncanny political and family events, like her mother's wedding waltz with South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond, and then again on the heartbreaking hilarity of an American president's final State of the Union address.

Artful and intense, Finney's poems ask us to be mindful of what we fraction, fragment, cut off, dice, dishonor, or throw away, powerfully evoking both the lawless and the sublime.

My Dog's All-Time Favorite
This is the only toy my dog will fetch over and over until she's too tired to run. This is her all-time favorite toy. We have tried buying others to give her variety, and she just keeps going back to this one. She'll chase other toys once or twice and then lose interest. But this toy? She will chase it indefinitely. We've purchased multiple so we can have one in each vehicle for playdates at the park. 10/10

The one bone to rule them all
This bone is definitely the favorite of all the different rubber bones we’ve tried. In fact, we did a green rubber bone test of two we bought to replace an old one and it was a clear winner. I don’t think it’s a matter of the sqeaky getting damaged as some dogs may eventually puncture the bone itself and then it won’t squeak. My little goober has serious teeth and she cannot stop squeaking this one. Also it bounces and I can throw it pretty far.

A replacement
This is a replacement for one my dog wore out after a year. This toy is great 👍 it is made very well. Our dog loves the squeaker and resists constant chewing. Lasted a year lol 😆
