Light For The World To See
“A brave intervention by a talented writer of conviction. Alexander’s uniquely designed poems offer a useful entry point for conversations about racism in America.”
Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award
From NPR correspondent and New York Times bestselling author, Kwame Alexander, comes a powerful and provocative collection of poems that cut to the heart of the entrenched racism and oppression in America and eloquently explores ongoing events. A book in the tradition of James Baldwin’s “A Report from Occupied Territory,” Light for the World to See is a rap session on race. A lyrical response to the struggles of Black lives in our world … to America’s crisis of conscience … to the centuries of loss, endless resilience, and unstoppable hope. Includes an introduction by the author and a bold, graphically designed interior.
