La Jones is such an amazing woman & poet! Many of her pieces moved me to tears, just off the title alone! I look forward to reading her new book and gathering up all the loveliness that has in store for us. Banter & Bourbon is the perfect mix!

You know you’ve met a true poet when the actual vibe matches what is written or spoken. La Jones has proven her artistry time and time again and I’m just grateful to be along (or in line) for the ride. I’m highly anticipating Banter & Bourbon. Impossible to disappoint.

I’ve personally watched La perform several of her poems and she has an indescribable way with words and it is evident in written form!

La has this AMAZING gift of verbalizing what we are ALL thinking (or have thought at some point in our lives). And she does it with such grace (and, at times, the necessary grit) that it leaves you musing, “if only I could have said it that way, then maybe…”. It’s for that reason that she’s able to reach the hearts of the masses with her poetry. I am really looking forward to reading her latest piece, Banter & Bourbon!

Banter and Bourbon is a collection of La’s greatest poetic pieces! If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing her live performances, you are missing out on one of the dopest spoken word artist in the country! The style and flow that she performs with easily exudes onto her words in this new book! It is definitely a must by for anyone who loves poetry and spoken word!

Banter & Bourbon was such a good read! I loved the vulnerability within the poems as well as the reflective words after some of the poems. This has been one of my favorite reads of all times. I love how you’ve created your own lane within the writing community! A friend recommended that I read this book and I’m so glad that She did. I am also glad that you chose to share your words and experiences with us! I hope I can return the favor by sharing these words with others! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store!
