Rhythm & Black

Overflowing with wisdom, love, and humor, here is a panoramic collection of poems that range from the lyrical to the polemic. With the publication of his first book, Rhythm and Black, Jimere unveils a rhythmical voice that blends spoken word and song. This timeless classic employs poetic lines to portray the stories of both collective and personal experiences. This anthology of poetic (literary) light illuminates the changes Jimere has undergone to emerge as a conscious black man, father, teacher, and artist. Jimere's commanding voice also addresses intensely personal and fiercely political issues from our nation's past and present succeeding in a transcendence of historical oppression and struggle.
