"Thought-provoking and, at times, haunting, The Blues Cry for a Revolution shines a powerful lens on institutionalized racism as it exists today. Written from within the persecuted culture, these poems are brimful with intense pain, the sadness of loss, and frustration at the entropic acceptance that allows the continuation of racism during a time we should all be more enlightened. They are eye-opening snapshots of abuse and neglect, a cry for change, and an illumination of the ignorance that still infiltrates society, breeding assumptions of superiority, and accepted prejudice against those who are 'other' or 'different' based on the inconsequential trait of skin color." -- Manhattan Book Review

"Powerful, rigorous, and revealing, this outstanding collection conveys the emotional intensity of individual experiences with utmost precision while drawing a sharp, insightful critique of racism in the twenty-first century America." - The Prairies Book Review

"An energetic and varied collection of poetry that speaks to institutional racism in America." - Kirkus Reviews
