In his first collection, Prince Micaiah Lee uses free style poetry to take readers on an emotional roller coaster of discovery in oneself. The most important fact to remember is that we aren’t born overnight, it’s a process we learn each day through the tumultuous and often painful path of life. Lee’s raw and complex poetry is a deep dive into the challenges an LGBTQ Black youth being raised in the South has faced in such a short period of time, and then finding his voice through poetry and verse.
