About this Book: |
|
This book is a very provocative book which deals with a lot of sensitive issues, such as slavery, inter-racial marriage, religion and the everyday struggles of middle class people in America. These poems are a bit of philosphy along with a touch of modern day hip hop like lyrics. Anyone on any level will be able to relate to the variou subjects mentioned in the book. The author writes with wit as well as wisodom. This book is sure to be a classic. These poems will be read over and over again because of the intense and honest manor in which these various subjects are being dealt with. Not sense the early 20 th centuary has there been a writer who has the courage to speak openly and bluntly about so many sensitive subjects which writers of more renown dodge cause of their fear of not selling as many books . Even though you may not agree with everything you will read, this book will stimulate your mind like it has never been stimulated before!

Book Review: |

Not sense James Weldon Johnson has there been a writer who uses the word so skillfully to shed light on subjects not normally written about. Mr. Pittman actually goes out on a limb to express openly what others writers only dare to say. This book from a relative unknown author is sure to throw him into the lime light because talent such as this is very hard to keep secret. "The Beauty and The Blackness of My Soul" is destined to win literary awards across the world. The poem, "Love Like Snow" is sure the warm the hearts of people everywhere.
