Testament III: What the Deal?

Rashid Darden’s third collection is shaped by the energy and influence of the spoken word and slam poetry movement. These poems carry the rhythms of performance, call-and-response, and public truth-telling. Darden’s voice is bold, direct, and emotionally charged. Humor, confrontation, and vulnerability share the page. This is a book for readers who love poetry that sounds like a voice in the room.
