Recrudescence: Poems in the Key of Black is an eclectic collection of free-verse work poetry, a journey of blackness in the past and even now. The poems are illustrativeāthey bring many images to mind and they make intangible concepts feel tangible.
The section āKnifeā is open and real dealing with the male voyage through prostate cancer and its aftermath and the rawness of postsurgery life. Family, the calm of nature, and an intimate observation of people whose lives hold special meaning give depth to the collection as does the authorās personal insight gathered from living in a complex world.
The concluding trilogy āMama Dearā and the poetic memoir āHallelujah Anyhowā are the authorās reminiscence about the mother he never knew because of her tragic early death. As one reader of the manuscript wrote, āI felt like I knew your mother . . . you truly captured who she was, her life, her sentiments and showed the effects of her presence and absence.ā
