Why Am I So Brown?

About this book

Poetry. "WHY AM I SO BROWN? is a compelling scenario of ideals and cultural activism. Trinidads signature poem Let Us Stop This Madness sets the tone for a plurality of global political justice. Through an integration of barrio rhythm and street orality he finds identity and culture. His sensitive and mature hand captures a consciousness that is a framework for aesthetic realism and change. In this Trinidads fifth book his sense of humanity has gelled into completeness. This is a must read for anyone who will take the challenge to investigate this form we call poetry"-Ron Allen Horizons in Poetry Detroit Michigan.
