Publisher's Synopsis
"Magic 8 & the Bone Marrow Sucker" has a love affair between Queen Serwah and Little Jinn, who is the Bone Marrow Sucker. Magic 8 relates to the book's investment in the study of a "logical black magic," and the "8" is specifically for spiders or relates to 81 "magic and flight."
While living in Puerto Rico, Ms. Osei-Bonsu was confronted with four live tarantulas consecutively, all of which she managed to kill. Black magic related Ms. Osei-Bonsu to a fantasy she has about the American South and slavery, where she thinks under duress it may become logical and available basic ideas in black magic. Ms. Osei-Bonsu uses many musical and theatrical voices, and the reader may hear singing in the book. She has written notes on beauty, love, and sensuality that are a part of her New Thought Research. The book represents a meaningful and delightful collection of poems.
