The Green Tuxedo

Exploring the complexities of late twentieth-century life, the poems delve beneath the surface of seemingly polished exteriors to reveal underlying turbulence, including themes of racism and violence. The second half incorporates diary entries from the author’s father, blending memory and imagination to reconstruct his youth. This reflective journey emphasizes the importance of questioning appearances and encourages readers to seek deeper understanding rather than definitive answers, celebrating the exploration of concealed truths.
