BLACK RAISING CANE OVER RED Evolved partly from a principle practiced at The World Stage Anassi Writer's workshop. Honor the truth. From that single premise sprang the idea of sharing my personal story and familial history through poetry. That, coupled with growing up in such a colorful time and place like Detroit during the sixties provides historical context that transcends the very essence of this wonderful art form. Mrs. Kirk, my high school English teacher was extremely influential in shaping not only my approach to a literary standard but also the level of commitment imparted to the pursuit of the actual craft.

What People Are Saying About The Platinum Edition of Got Homophobia "Azaan Kamau's Got Homophobia is an extremely important and timely book in an era where youth are committing suicide in alarming numbers. This book should be required reading in every classroom, college, cultural and religious institution." Award-winning journalist, bestselling author and renowned activist, Ifalade Ta'Shia Asanti "Got Homophobia is thought provoking and ground breaking This is one of Azaan's most compelling books on race, sociology, sex, gender and the toxin of homophobia in America Got Homophobia is one of the most prolific books of our time" Best Selling Author, Publisher, Practitioner of holistic Heath and Healing Katrina Arango "Azaan's new book Got Homophobia is profound and quintessential to our current climate of homophobia and bullying. This book is a must read for every parent and educator in the country" Poet & Best Selling Author Salima MaSud "Azaan's book gives voice to all of the gay people who have felt muted and silenced. It empowers those who have felt the sting of someone's intolerance" Book Review Guru
The book is a poetic biographical journey from childhood to womanhood. Azaan feels that Spirit used her as a tool to share these words, so that the world would embrace and love all unconditionally. This book is emotionally charged from beginning to end with pain, love, passion, and triumph! This book gives voice to a collection of life's stories, some through a child's eyes! The poems express many things people feel or think, but don't have the courage to say. The book is a vivid look into society and the world as a whole. Writing the book was not only therapeutic, but it proves the wounded will not only crawl but walk!
