with selected poems
from his book
bought to life.
ON THE BOOK:
What happens when the teachable moments that made you became outdated or, even worse, were outright lies ?
In his second full-length collection, Sean Battle gives testimony as a curriculum-in-process.
Whereas his first book, #TheForestofBricks showed that conflict comes no matter the upbringing, the poems in #Profess give lessons after the initial wake-up call to reality, including how past lives either evolved or perished.
