Wisdom Teeth

by Weston

Derrick Weston Brown's debut collection is a questioning work, a redefining of personal relationships, masculinity, race and history. It's a re-adjustment of bite, humour and perspective as Brown channels the language of hip-hop, Toni Morrison and Snagglepuss to pave the way for an eruption of wisdom. Told through a litany of forms and a myriad of voices - including some of the poet's own - Wisdom Teeth reveals the ongoing internal and external reconstruction of a poet's life and world.

I liked it. It's poetry for the people.

An interesting set of poems by poet Derrick Weston Brown. Some of them made me smile and some of them were pretty thoughtful. Certainly a poet to take a look at.
