Written between 1989 and 2008, the poems in Kevin Powell's powerful new collection encompass everything from his early role as a renowned slam poet (and original cast member of MTV's "Real World") to his current incarnation as a poet operating away from the scene. Within this rich tapestry of musings, confession, and introspection, Powell weaves issues like racism, black self-hatred, and gender violence with his own anguished revelations about sex, love, and misogyny. Sampling from the personal and the political, Powell reshapes them into a provocative soundtrack for the times.
