exploring the influences that shaped his life and music on his
journey from rural Jamaican childhood to international
superstardom.
If, indeed, it's a "woman's right to choose," then what happens to
the man's right? Chubert Davis is quite a charismatic, highly
intelligent, and gregarious twenty-something that is adored and
respected by everyone with whom he comes in contact. He shares a
deep bond of friendship with several other career-minded young
adults and those bonds are rock solid. That is until he learns that
his girlfriend is pregnant, and the issue of abortion forces them
to come to terms with what they truly believe in and their own
self-worth. But life is strange. Often times there are issues that
are so important that it's not just the individuals who are
directly involved who are affected. Many others who love them also
find themselves questioning each other's morality and their own
ethics as well. A Man's Wrong to Choose? is a gripping and unusual
account of the repercussions of an unplanned pregnancy. You may
even find yourself exploring the depth of your own relationships
and belief systems with family, friends, and God. Whether male or
female and no matter what your position is on the right to choose
or anything related to unwed pregnancy, you're sure to be riveted
by the spellbinding story of these young adults as they struggle
with their personal beliefs and heart-wrenching decisions. This
book is a must read for those who have made the crucial mistake of
having unprotected sex and face the potential of lifelong
consequences as a result.
Poetry. African American Studies. MY OLD MAN WAS ALWAYS ON THE LAM
is a blues memoir in verse. With brutal honesty and lyrical
prowess, Tony Medina plays the changes in an intimate collection
that sticks like a stinging Ali punch and moves like a New York
City subway train through the raw, unmitigated terrain of his
psyche. Sparked by the sudden death of his father in Harlem, MY OLD
MAN WAS ALWAYS ON THE LAM examines his relationship with a
long-lost mother who abandoned him at birth, exploring his Bronx
projects childhood and his relationship with the paternal
grandmother who wrestled him from the clutches of the State and
raised him, culminating with a reunion with his terminally ill
mother, attempting to fill in the gaps of a precarious past
destined to collide with its bare-bones present. In this, his fifth
full-length collection, Tony Medina is at his most personal and
revelatory.
