Afroetry is an excellent book of poems about African American history. The book consists of many poetic forms and styles that are easy to understand. These include: acrostema, rhymed couplets, narration, quatrain, and free form, to name a few. The essence of the poems serves as a tool for learning and illuminating memory, depending on knowledge of African-American history.
Many poems have a sense of humor, at the same time very serious, although not an oxymoron. For example, rhymed couples and the built-in message in “It Takes a Village” are outstanding. Anger Management is indeed sending an amazing message about existing conflicts in different areas regarding different development processes between African-American youth.
Reading this book, you will find other brilliant poems, such as the bombardment of “Black Wall Street” in Oklahoma, which is really a revelation for everyone to understand this process. “Watch What You Eat” is really a poem in which to live, especially when watching various diseases affecting a certain percentage of the population and the problems of obesity.
One book from the Bible, Leviticus, which is a poem in the book, symbolizes Slanda’s faith in God. This poem really shines through this towering poetry. The poem “African burial”, which refers to the discovery of a burial site in New York, is incredible. I had the opportunity to visit the burial site in New York, and it was an impressive experience. Visiting the site Slendah and reading her poems is a wonderful experience.
You can write a thesis on this wonderful book; however, they read it personally and feel that the humble experience stimulates. I could not put the book down as soon as I began to read it until I read the last poem, in which some of the songs of the unforgivable Luther Vandross were in a very thoughtful part. What a wonderful way to finish a book with a stunning and sublime poem. This book is very sharp and has a positive experience, waiting for everyone who reads it. Get a copy today and don't delay. An exciting experience that awaits any reader in exciting words. Afroetry Linda Mayfield-Hayes (Slenda).
