Somewhere Through the Haze

An insightful collection of poetry that will challenge you to take a real look at the oppression in society, and ask yourself, “What will I do about it?” Bringing into play a background in justice and human rights ministry, education and organizing, as well as an enjoyment of the use of language—written and spoken—to explore crucial ideas, Analysis presents a group of poems that examine painful manifestations racism, economic oppression and imperialism in our society. Illuminating topics ranging from anti-immigrant hate to labor injustice to the police killing of his nephew, and more, these poems are crafted in such a way that you can “hear” their power speaking to you as if you were at a spoken word venue, and so you and all you share with can revisit them repeatedly in order to raise your level of critical analysis! "With power and grace, Analysis lays bare the hidden cruelties of American capitalism. He has the mind of a scholar and the heart of a preacher, and he's not afraid to use them. This slim volume belongs in the collection of everyone wrestling with history and hoping to win." –Irxs Krisch, educator "Analysis captures us with his authenticity and challenges the conscience of the culture to educate, elevate, and inspire." –Wanda Rhymes (Rev. Dr. Wanda Bynum Duckett)
