"Reading “Zuri” is like listening to Eric B. & Rakim at a traffic light, during the summer, and forgetting to go. It’s like laughing to keep from crying the Blues ‘cause ‘aint no sunshine when she’s gone. It’s like grooving to a bass, a piano, and the vocals of a cornrowed siren." ~ Kwame Alexander

*This collection was previously published as a chapbook, but is now available here in its full form.
