Black Boy Poems, (Paperback)

<p><b>"Poems from a Black Boy" is not just poetry-it is testimony, memory, and survival.</b></p><p>In this bold and unflinching debut, Kiminou Knox takes readers on a journey through identity, silence, trauma, and redemption. With a voice that is both raw and lyrical, he explores the weight of generational pain, the contradictions of faith, the scars of silence, and the unbreakable pursuit of joy.</p><p>From the quiet resilience of Black boyhood to the joy of love, marriage, and fatherhood, Knox captures the fullness of the Black experience-its pain, its resistance, and its triumph. Each section unfolds like a mirror, reflecting both personal battles and universal truths: </p><ul><li><p><b>Identity &amp; Resilience</b>: reclaiming the self against stereotypes and silence.</p></li><li><p><b>Love &amp; Healing</b>: intimate portraits of partnership, joy, and family.</p></li><li><p><b>Pain &amp; Redemption</b>: confronting trauma while daring to imagine freedom.</p></li></ul><p>Part poetry, part reflection, <i>Poems from a Black Boy</i> refuses to reduce Blackness to suffering alone. It is as much about laughter at the cookout as it is about the fire of generational struggle. It is about what we inherit, what we carry, and what we choose to pass on.</p><p>Whether you are a lover of contemporary poetry, a student of identity and resilience, or simply a reader searching for honesty on the page, this collection will speak to you.</p><p><b>For the Black boy who was told to be hard when all he wanted was to be held-this book is for you.</b></p>
