"Through these haiku, Moore presents single, transitory moments to create a communal narrative about the strength, commitment, and humanity of African American men."

"Lenard D. Moore has given us more than a pledge; he has given us the gift of Poetry.  African American men should march for nothing less."

"As one of the leading haiku poets in the United States, Moore understands how deceptively simple forms can be used to make complexity accessible....We do welcome a poem that enables us to recollect our powerful emotional responses to that day and to consider how dim or vivid are our memories now."
