Heart, Substance, Vulnerability and Beauty.

I recently started listening to this collection of poetry and I'm a little in love. It is a beautiful, poingant, timely, relevant, deep diving, soulful piece of modern art. The author is Black and much of it is about his experience and shared experience within that. He has a poem about a white guy leaving a bad review on his work because it wasn't relatable to him. All I can say is that guy is willfully obtuse jackass and frankly lacking depth of intelligence if he could not glean the relatable pieces from it. Also, gazing into the experience of others is crucial to be a decent, well rounded human. I have related to some of it, I have been lost in the movies in my mind that the author has produced in detail with each poem, I have cried for his people, I have teared up at familiar aches given life through words and I have enjoyed his word craft immensely. In a world where AI is spewing words with the emotional nutrition of cotton candy this book is stunningly real, human, and a gift from Fredrick Joseph's soul. Give it a read you'll be glad you did.
