A Walk Through Brooklyn

"A Walk Through Brooklyn" is a collection of nineteen poems that express the black experience from a vivid point of view of an African American man who has experienced growing up in American society without a father and losing a loving mother. "A Walk Through Brooklyn" covers a range of topics such as self-motivation, love, friendship, abandonment and loss. Rashaun J. Allen's poems attempt to ask and answer questions such as: How does self motivation lead to success? What's the difference between love and lust? Can a friendship be repaired? And how does a parent's addiction affect a child?
