A Tour of My Neighborhood by Matrice Young
$5.00
Poet Matrice Young reflects on growing up in the Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago in this chap-zine adaptation of her highly-praised slam performance.
It opens:
Welcome to the inner city.
Load the bus with your wide
cream-eyed gaze and tell your friends
that you've met the brothas and sistas
of a court defined gang.
Of black and brown bodies, linking fingers,
through the curse of inner city, of
walking body bags where each street corner
is a grave. Welcome, to your
education of the descendants of slaves.
