Tarnish and Masquerade

Blurb

A veteran of the spoken-word scene, two-time National Slam Champion Roger Bonair-Agard releases his first full length poetry collection with accompanying CD full of spellbinding performances. These poems chart an exile'ss coming-of-age mirroring the increasingly relevant immigrant'ss experience. Whether set in Trinidad, Washington Heights, Texas, Brooklyn or other locales, Bonair-Agard'ss poems contain words of clarity, compassion and unsentimentality, written (and spoken) with equal parts joy and fury.
