What book have you read/listened to that legit changed you?

[Sister Mary Clarence]

Native Son

Forgotten Fire (more of a book geared to teens maybe, but I was in high school, about the Armenian genocide)

Bigger fan of poets truthfully than actually books. But those two stuck with me.

Can you share some good poetry reads?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I was 18 and it gave me knowledge of self and of America

Read this in elementary school.. my grandad was actually friends with Alex Haley

Can you share some good poetry reads?

Sure, i don’t know if i have any specific poems to share right now, but as far as poets go

Anything by Robert Frost (might be my favorite)

Langston Hughes is great, even better now truthfully.

Charles Bukowski is a little all over the place but, he has a specific voice in bis writing which I always found to be refreshing

And probably Luis Borges to round up the list. I can probably share more later.

This book opened my eyes to how destructive cats are. This cat destroyed the children's house and tried to make it seem like he was doing them a favor.
