In this unapologetic and thought-provoking collection, Gerry “GOS” Simpson—a painter known for telling stories through color—turns his voice to the page, confronting identity, history, responsibility, and survival in America. Written with the rhythm of spoken word and the honesty of lived experience, the book is paired with photographs from the artist, offering visual moments that deepen and echo the reflections within. Together, the words and images invite readers to look inward, question long-held narratives, and consider what it truly means to think forward without forgetting the past. Raw, direct, and deeply human, this is not just a book—it’s a conversation that continues beyond the page.
