Spitfire: Poetry and Prose (Literature/Black Studies)

Call this the era of the "gangsta truth" - a historical moment where any "truth", be it bred by the need for scrutiny, critique or just straight-up resistance, is demonized, challenged and illegalized. Few speak the "gangsta truth" like Gino Morrow - a long time "Thug Poet" in the making, a poet who can seize your thoughts and choke you on the news of the day, who gets his, like Biggie said, "the ski-mask way". This collection finds Gino Morrow matured, assured, and in full control of his poetic sensibilities. Like Morrow writes, "I write for revolution..." Let the revolution begin.
