These are books full of poetry that personally resonates with me as a Black man.
A collection of poems capturing the inner-city Black British experience in its entirety in such beautiful ways. Femi's poetry resonated with me so much so that I wrote about his book for my English coursework, and genuinely enjoyed doing so!

Not many know that Tupac started off writing poetry, and he was pretty damn good at it too. The way he expresses his thoughts and emotions is so raw and captivating, I implore even those who don't read poetry to check him out. RIP to a great soul.
