If There's No Heaven by Barbara Marie Minney
After almost thirty six years, I began writing poetry again as a means of documenting and processing my thoughts, feelings, struggles, and triumphs during my transition to living authentically as the woman that God always intended me to be. I began my transition at the age of sixty three after repressing my true gender identity for over sixty years, and the poetry in this book charts the first two years of that journey. My poetry is also a challenge to stereotypical beliefs and to accept other people for who and what they are. I am a Christian and conservative leaning, which has caused me to be shunned by my community. My poetry is also a challenge to unapologetically and proudly accept and love yourself for who you are.

Dance Naked With God by Barbara Marie Minney
"How do poets love?" is a question Barbara asks partway through this marvelous collection delivered in emotionally-fractured, multi-faceted language. Dance Naked with Gad offers thrilling poems coated with images that lay across one another and interlock like scales, and the end result is a brilliant chameleon reflecting a series of important self-investigation in unique and interesting ways. I may not have learned precisely how poets love, but these poems show how fierce their passion can be. By the collections end, I found myself enjoying the liveliness of my resurrection.
