Nobody Knows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498435895)

"Leonard A. Slade, Jr.'s poetry can pierce the heart or kiss the soul." - - Kate Stephens Poet and Playwright Leonard A. Slade, Jr.'s latest collection of poems reflects the changing landscape in which we live. At times both reflective and impassioned, Nobody Knows explores racial politics, identity, love, friendship, isolation, and mortality. Combining erudition and emotion, these poems call for social consciousness while capturing quiet moments in the interior mind. These poems take us into the halls of universities, onto the streets of social movements, and into the heart of human nature. - - Khahilia Shaw J.D. Candidate 2017 Duke University School of Law Leonard A. Slade, Jr., does what important poets have done for centuries: he highlights the important elements of life, so that after reading Nobody Knows, we are inspired to be better people. Individual poems made me laugh. Others almost made me shed a tear. This is a powerful, beautiful, moving, and inspiring collection of poems. - - Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper, Ph.D. Fuller E. Callaway Professor of English, Spelman College
