About the book

Black Body Radiation (BBR) is a collection of poems inspired by the history and challenges of African-American life. Whether you descended from The Enslaved or you are an African American immigrant, you know that ours is a special history and a fraught walk on American soil. BBR is a tribute to our common bond. It looks backward and forward at issues regarding black history, black life and black love with the goal of self healing through knowledge and truth. The messages within BBR are not for everyone, but everyone who is African American is somewhere within the pages of BBR.

Black Body Radiation is an underground project meant to spark the healing process for those who are seeking and ready to embrace some relief from the pain of racism. Please buy a copy of BBR, and spread the word if any poem resonates with you. Even better, host a listening party and add other authors’ healing poems to the reading list. Wellness starts with understanding that we cannot heal until we acknowledge and face painful truths. Let’s do this together. Our ancestors are proof that we are the help we seek. Now we must unite and do the work necessary to accept the blessing they have given us.
