Show Me Equality

By Johnny Coomansingh

This book stirred my emotions and encouraged me to be more active in living my convictions. You dealt with global and personal concerns that both touched the heart and soul. I cringed as I read about the slave girl on the auction block. Anxiety swelled within my heart as I pondered plutonium poisoning. With all the problems and terrible challenges you raise, you did not create a book without hope.

Both moving and powerful, this little book of verse offers challenge, insight and heartfelt emotion.

Show Me Equality is magnificent in its simplicity, scathing in its revelations, and powerful in its directness
[Stephen R. Shapiro, ChairCommunication Department, Fort Hays State University, Hays, KS]



Economical brush strokes of vibrant and vivid colorsyou move the minds eye, heart and soul.
[Bruce BardwellTheatre Arts, Fort Hays State University, Hays, KS]



This collection is vintage Coomansingh. The poetry burns deep within the consciousness and destroys all the props we lean on, but in the end you are sure to feel like the phoenix as you rise from the ashesthe best work yet.
[Terrence Griffith (Author & Publisher)Former Senator, Grenada Parliament]
