Our first introduction to Aaron came at the 2012 Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival, where his spoken word set captivated the audience. We're confident this poetry collection will resonate with you just as powerfully.

As described on Amazon: Aaron Samuels, raised in Providence, Rhode Island by a Jewish mother and a Black father, is a Cave Canem Fellow and a nationally acclaimed performer. In this ground-breaking collection of poems, Samuels examines the beauty and contradictions of his own mixed identity with gut-wrenching narratives, humor, and passionate verve.
