Description
Etan Thomas has been called the poetic voice of his generation' and in Voices of the Future he uses his poetry to inspire a better world. With musings on Occupy Wall Street, President Obama, fatherhood, youth issues, relationships, haters, violence, racism and spiritualism, this book is a beautiful collection that reminds readers: This is our pandemic / It is not hers, or his, or theirs / It is ours / And one day, we must own it / Because we are one day away from letting it own us instead.'
