I Am the Rage

If the daily, no, hourly news reports about unresolved racial tension and inequalities haven’t informed the world, then our call to attention are the poems of Dr. Martina McGowan. The succinct, sharp and direct poems in I am The Rage require us to finally confront that which society ignores. Her words, along with the beautiful illustrations by Diana Ejaita, encourage us, no, command us to “wake up.” McGowan shouts from her heart to do so before it’s too late — and we cannot afford to wait that long.
