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.\u003cbr\u003e- - Khahilia Shaw\u003cbr\u003eJ.D.
