Aggressive

This edition is a re-imagining of the original Aggressive, containing revised and edited content, as well as several completely new poems. Since initial publication, one has undoubtedly gained more insight and a better understanding of what the original intention was and how well the book reflects that intent. The author believes this version to be truer to that vision.The title poem aggressive, like much art, was born in a moment of frustration. Fortunately, there is beauty in exposing scars.The Inherent Violence of My Beastly Unbecoming follows the progression from an innocent child though faith and love, who finally comes to recognize a world, at once violent and beautiful, that can never again be an appropriate place for so idealistic a young, black mind.This collection of poems and creative musings is intended to inspire, uplift, and amuse the reader through mild irreverence, humorous observation, and deeply introspective honesty.
