Description
“In this collection of thoughts expressed through poetry and storytelling, the truth is revealed through Maat, love, remembrance and community. From the streets to the classrooms to the boardrooms of American culture by way of her sub-culture springs the passion of an inner city writer who is challenged by his surroundings and makes a way against all odds. Reminding those of us living in the inner city to remain steadfast and continue to dream despite our current reality. We are made to confront love through ‘The Jazz Player,’ ‘Black Honey,’ and ‘Chocolate Smile’ only to arrive at our own homes with thoughts of ‘Moments in Love’ while playing ‘Ghetto Games’ just before the electricity makes its way up to the street light while mama calls us in for supper. This poet and storyteller uncovers a beautiful, sad song.†—Kevin Rakeen White, author and poet
