I FOUND THE BOOK TO BE A REFRESHING LOOK AT A BLACK MANS VIEWS ON LOVE AND FAMILY. IT IS VERY EASY TO READ AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. THIS BOOK IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I found so much in this book that was relevant. I loved the spiritual references and the way the author shared his innermost feelings. There were some points of view in the book that I disagreed with but it did give me something to think about. Definitely a good coffee table book. Gave one to my dad for father's day and he really liked it.

I found the book to be very good. It was a plain English view of a black man in poetry. I think the author has a unique way of letting us see what he sees and feel what he feels without preaching at us.

It is funny, insightful and even stirring from an inspirational point of view. I would suggest this book to others.

Musings was an opportunity for me to learn what the average thoughtful African-American man has to say about his world. I especially liked "Best Friend", "What is a Father?", "The Gift", and "CT".

The poetry is understandable, which alone is commendable. As I was reading, I felt the love the author had for his family and community, and the intelligence with which he observes the world.

I think this book will make an excellent Father's Day gift. You can sit and read this collection of poems and essays and actually enjoy each one without running to the dictionary at every line, or feeling that you just don't get it.

If the point of poetry is communication, the author Mr. Wyche has done a very good job...
