Review Quotes
"From start to finish, we read along as the poet grows into himself. The best parts are where we find the authenticity he weaves into every poem; in between the lines where we surprisingly also find ourselves. SC's debut is not a book, it is a friend for life."
- Jomar Valentin, Slam Master of the Austin Poetry Slam
Golden Brown Skin creates a raw, uncomfortable, yet relatable and captivating story of life. There's challenge and hope in the love we share, in the mental health we struggle to balance, in the inequity so many of us face. There's a genuine connection where readers will find themselves and know what it means to also want their bruises, covert or otherwise, to go unseen, much like the author. Then despite the turmoil, there's a beautiful persistence to keep appearing and a big dose of hope. Hope for the author's story... and hope for the reader's story, because after all, it's a masterful articulation of the human story.
