Unleashed

Every poem she writes, she memorizes. Therefore, you hear her spirit as you read her words. Moments that leave you speechless, renders you amazed and celebrating the author and poet. Elizabeth P. Brooks told her story as art when it should have been headline news, even though it may have happened to you as well.
"Unleashed looks you in your eyes and dares you to outstare it. Yet together with the boldness of its challenge, this book extends it's hands and invites you out onto a dance floor pulsating with the rhythms of self actualization.

Brooks wants us to know that although trauma and injustice may scorch you, flame can be repurposed to cauterize wounds. Poet Sonia Sanchez has asked, "Where is your fire?" Brooks in Unleashed responds: 'I am my fire,' 'fire burning brightly.' " Angel Jimenez
