How the Boogeyman Became a Poet by Tony Keith Jr.

5.0

Once again I ventured out into a different type of book than the standard fantasy romance or contemporary romance and I am beyond grateful I did. As a mother to 3 black boys who will grow to become black men, this memoir  hit emotions I didn’t know I had. This is definitely a book that will stay front and center on my shelf and will forever be held dear to my heart. Tonys story was captivating and I am honored to have been selected to read his journey. I will say some parts of the book didn’t flow as well as others, BUT that does not change my rating or review because I could tell sometimes they were thoughts being turned into poetry and sometimes that’s what happens. It’s almost like journaling but much more creative and a LOT more beautiful.
