Im not a poetry reader, but this was a book club pick and I‘m so glad it was picked. His poems are beautiful.

These poems reflect a driven, contemplative, loving, and insightful young man before his big rap career took off. He was obviously still growing into himself when he wrote these poems. They are heartbreaking, some amateur, sweet, and even naive, but always, he was thinking about the world around him and what justice meant. I wish he'd had the chance to say more.

What strikes hardest about Tupac Shakur's writing is how inescapably young he was, how heartbreaking it is, all over again, that such youth and promise was cut down too soon. Each poem is in here 2Xs - 1st as an image of the original scribble, complete with the illustrative doodles, misspellings, & abbreviations you would expect from a teenager's notebook, & then again as a typed poem. The juxtaposition is sharp and delightful.
