Afro-American Tales for the American mind. Poetry is my favorite thing due to the fact that there is so much raw material to reach. This poetry is a bit different than others. This is a tale of black indifference to the white man, interracial relationships, and a tale of self love and embracing the skin I'm in. It's taken me 2 whole years to share some of the older works in this book. ( marked with a star) I hope you love each and every single word that is written down.
