Publisher Description: Tony Medina's latest collection of poetry is satirical and surprising commentary on contemporary issues facing young and old alike. His mastery of language, imagery, conversation, and voice permeates each and every selection within this 100-plus page volume. The Caribbean writer and novelist Jan Carew shares the following: The poetry . . . is complex. It strips the street to its simplest common denominator of survival and tears off layer upon layer of stark realism. |
