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.

A data engineering journey from basic to advance topics
Format: Kindle
Is the third time that I read this book. One of the most valuable aspects is the fact that depending of your data engineering mature, you'll always find a new aspect or ideas to put in practice. Hope the second version come soon!

Lottery Book
Format: Paperback
This book contains a lot of opinions without facts. Some are true, some are not. But its a lottery, you cold pick a gold text or a text that is full of buzzwords, without any meaning, fact and useless in real life.

Glad I bought this used
Format: Paperback
It’s packed with buzzwords and adjectives, offering plenty of in-vacuum advice and self-promotional ‘hire-me’ vibes. There’s some real insight here, but it’s buried under a lot of noise.

Not useful
Format: Paperback
This book has a few pieces of good advice, but its buried under mountains of weird and amateur level musings. Example: Paul Singman advocates for eliminating ETL entirely. How? Just reprogram the applications to which you may or may not have the source code to handle your data processing. He calls Intention Data Transfer 🥴 Thanks for the advice Paul, I'll get right on that.

Good starting point. But can't find the code.
Format: Kindle
Reading chapter 3. It was so far so good, but can't find the code in the repo. "All the related code can be found in the repository under project/hooks-notification." And in the repo I see no project folder. Please help!
