Seeking to speak the unspoken thoughts of the African American and the male,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Please (New Issues Poetry & Prose) (Paperback)
A doctor of Creative Writing, Jericho Brown steps into the world of poetry with "Please". Seeking to speak the unspoken thoughts of the African American and the male, his verse seeks to explain the actions and ideas that men of one or the other belong to. "Please" is poignant and realistic writing, and an excellently entertaining read. "Open": I often lie open as a field. Sharecroppers have no fixed names.

Can I say that I love the organization of this book? I sat down, enthralled to read, then bounced back to the Table of Contents to look for poems that I know. Noticed the musical phrasing and then bounced back to the poems. Noticed the Linear Notes and bounced back to the poems again, now informed and ready to dive into their meanings deeper. I love this collection. It has so many levels.
