"This book is one all poetry lovers should get their hands on. It sets you free to hear a writer speak with such clarity that the words seem to jump off the page."
-Tina Kohl
Author of My Poetic Voices

Poetry released in such an emotional and powerful way is a direct link to reach the market. African-Americans have always been at the forefront of the spoken word explosion. But Tender Headed makes it known that poetry is a real force to be dealt with. With words that seem to explode off the page about everything from sex to marriage to racial prejudice, this book seems to conquer it all.

Tender Headed is the kind of poetry one reads when there is a need to be uplifted, entertained and educated.
