Book Synopsis
In Shyne Nelson's first collection of poems, essays and short stories, Nelson make's visible, the pain and magic of growing up a black man in America. Telling the coming-of-age stories of his peers and chanting that black men are present, lovable and anything but invisible. His "aggressively honest" approach to storytelling is one that will make you laugh, cry, think, but most importantly relate. Tackling subjects as taboo as prostitution in the short story "The Client List" to presenting a different prospective of the age old infidelity issue in the poem "He exist, because of you." Nelson's debut is sure to start plenty of conversations. "Things Unsaid" addresses just that: The things that we often think but don't dare say.
