About this ebook
Tell Somebody is poetry about what is seen, touched, tasted, and heard that takes on the beauty and ugliness in society. Each poem seeks to persuade the overlooked into public light. The collection comments on the exclusion familiar to people that have their backs pressed against the wall and are concerned to arrest the consequences of inequality issuing forth from cultures of cruelty. Readers are welcomed to step into the existential reality of persons who challenge the moral claims of society upon the marginalized found on the streets, in the workplace, and crossing borders. The collection is a contribution to the artistic expression of a time of social conflict, and it offers a careful and thought-provoking resource by which to reflect on the complex issues of identity and justice in the United States.
Author
