Truth is a Trap House by Jessica Holter

About this Book:

Welcome to the housewarming party at a trap house near you. The doors are open. Bring your open mind, but leave your pocketbook in your trunk. There are sketchy characters inside, well prepared to take you on a long ride. Remember to bring God as your plus one, have fun, and stick around for the show.

Step inside the enigmatic trap house built by Ghetto Girl Blue. Prepare to be stirred, provoked, and transported through Jessica Holter's new book Truth is a Trap House. Brace yourself; reality unravels with modern conspiracies, TikTok whimsy, pimping trickery, and logical acrobatics, jumping like a crackhead from one room of your mind to another. Jessica Holter serves tall tales, tell-alls, and historical remixes over an icy-cold blend of poetry, prose, and essays. As a poet and journalist, Holter's powerful words and detailed research cut through the noise, exposing raw, uncomfortable truths while leaving room for laughter.

You are cordially invited to explore the hidden corners of reality. Through vivid imagery and haunted history, Holter's myriad characters channel the collective pain and frustration of generations, creating a searing indictment of privilege, war, logical fallacies, and humanity's relentless isms that continue to feed the beasts of fear, self-doubt, and hate.

From the great fires and floods of Indigenous history to Black Codes and paper genocide, from foster care to the agenda-bending transportation of our common sense, Jessica Holter leaves no stone unturned in this epic 344-page collection of searing honesty and far-reaching suppositions that will make you question everything.

Walking in the light of divine energy and self-awareness, Holter does not shy away from the darkness in this no-hold-barred battle with the witchcraft of words. She is unafraid to expose her vulnerability as she invites readers into her inner sanctum. Her unflinching words call us to reckon with the past, accept our power, seek clarity, and forgive ourselves. In every corner of this literary labyrinth, readers encounter the complexities of human communication—the struggle to discern truth from fiction, right from wrong, and how to steer our souls away from temptation at the crossroads.

Fans of the controversial founder of The Punany Poets, author of the acclaimed works Verbal Penetration, The Punany Experience: The War Between Tops and Bottoms, and Punany The Hip Hop Psalms series can expect nothing less than the inclusion of a treasure trove of sensual delights in Truth is a Trap House.

As readers take this deep dive into a rabbit hole of creativity, they will discover more than quick-witted humor, colorful fantasies, spiritual upliftment, and entertaining stories—they will find a mirror reflecting their perceptions and private musings, and the insatiable urge to suspend disbelief.
