Author Description

Ghettoetry is Geoffrey D. Holmanas second collection of published work (Songs of Brick and Steel Giants being the first). The work is a literary and artistic reflection of life in urban America from one of the most intense and visually gifted African-American writers and illustrators of today. The book is a testimonial to those who live in the American ghettos. It is a compelling and truthful observation that forces the other side of America to stand up and take notice of the beauty and the scarred faces in the ahood. Ghettoetry: A Collection of Poetry and Illustration has been praised by legendary theatrical director/filmmaker and producer of countless African-American films and stage plays, Dr. Woody King, Jr.: aHolmanas voice is one of the most important new voices in African-American theater and literature today!
