Louis Moten

"Why I Write These Poems" is reprint of the 2002 classic, by Louis Moten and offers a timeless example of an African American Male unbridling his truth in an unburdening exercise.  This collection of poetry and experiences is written in the vein of vulnerability and transparency leaving just enough room for healing and resolve.  Expression in this volume is evidence of the how the black male truth is not devoid of emotion and vulnerability, and is furthermore a muscle that must be exercised regularly.
