Broke Baroque

BROKE BAROQUE is the third in a series of Broke Books by award-winning poet, Tony Medina. With razor sharp scatological whimsy, Medina's iconic ironic existential everyman-Broke-bears witness to the plight of homelessness from his curbside porch, torching the capitalist system and its myriad societal contradictions. BROKE BAROQUE, a compulsively readable collection that will connect with fiction and poetry lovers alike, includes a powerful introduction by McArthur-winner Ishmael Reed.

"He is the Poet Laureate of the Broke. Like Jean-Michel Basquiat who takes Hip Hop to another level, Medina covers some of the same territory as Hip Hop's best. Tupac. Public Enemy. Dead Prez."
