My Big Black Audacity
"Sometimes, words aren't enough ...and sometimes...they are. Thoughtful on purpose and politically potent, Karega Ani's poems are filled with words that creatively move people to envision the world through the power of poetry." - Sunni Patterson
MY BIG BLACK AUDACITY lives up to the fire and fortitude implied in its title. Karega Ani throws a literary gauntlet down in this provocative poetry anthology. His distinctive voice deftly navigates the isms, the constructs, the damages, the debts, and the mirrors required to face the labor of social change.
Ani poetically amplifies a vital call for introspection, accountability, and the discomfort necessary for authentic growth. In this treatise of us, expect the intellectual perspective of a critical thinker, the lyricism of a hip hop head, the boundary-pushing language of an activist, and the verbal acrobatics of a skilled poet.
