"Some poets spend their lives within the cloistered walls of colleges and universities. Gary E. Moore has spent his life dedicated to education - but not behind cloistered walls. In over five decades on Earth, he's been educated by the streets of Chicago's south side, by a system designed to deal out law and order disproportionately, and by a culture which rejects the idea of the nurturing, gentle black man. In his poetic debut, Moore draws on his experience as an inner city schoolteacher, as a father, and as a former child himself to paint an emotional landscape which is alternately poignant, shocking, witty, and furious." --Back cover
