CROSS THE BRIDGE

Author and spoken word artist K-SO takes more than a few punches in Cross the Bridge, a collection of street-savvy and acutely wise social commentaries on what it means to be black, white and all shades in between in modern American society. With great wit, keen insight and an expansive sense of politics and poetics, the author narrows the great national race divide and provides what the author refers to as a "mental slap in the face." A veritable roller coaster ride of emotions, perceptions and mental aptitudes, this collection of twenty essays breaks down barriers and challenges-no, demands that readers think outside of the box. From breaking through stereotypes to understanding complex sociological imperatives, we as a country can begin meaningful dialogues between all camps, whether it be Main Street, Wall Street or Pennsylvania Avenue. As a bold metaphor for change, this work shows a collective way that all sides can begin to cross that divisive bridge for humanity's sake.
