B-Sides, by Brandon Leake, is a collection of poems created over the course of the past 5 years. Poems written with no intent to be performed or rehearsed, but for cathartic purposes. However, after seeing the need in his community for certain unreleased pieces, Brandon has elected to release some of these poems into a book. Brandon Leake, is a Spoken Word Poet and Artistic Educator from Stockton, CA. He is also the founder and CEO of Called To Move - CTM.
This is the first book of poetry released by the 2021 America's Got Talent winner. His spoken word poetry slam performances blew me away! His written poems are powerful and good, but hearing him is best. While I love the poetry in this book, I found the typos and lack of editor distracting at times...the English major in me wanted to fix things...not the words or the thoughts, just the typing.
