Sex, Love, and Black Lives showcases poems that look into the mind of a young black man in his 20s (and early 30s). These poems include various perspectives on love, sex, family, race, and society. In addition to discussing different topics, these poems also exhibit mastery of ghazals, terza rimas, and a vast array of other formats and literary devices. This book shows a simultaneous growth and development of the author, his ideas, and the work he produces.
