[Shannon Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

My goodness is this collection a gem! So incredibly colourful and personal without being compromised by any feeling of false authenticity. Just a really clever, diverse basket. And boy, is this guy witty! (in performance and on page). Much kudos from one biracial poet to another. I can't wait for 'Mixed-Race Superman'! *out this month!!!*
