Tough Boy Sonatas by Curtis L. Crisler, reviewed by Amy Churchill, Hoyt LibraryReference Librarian (Wordsong, 2007, 86 pg. $19.95)
Tough Boy Sonatas is a collection of potent, hard-hitting poems about growing up in Gary, Indiana. Written mostly in voices of young African American males, the poems evoke the realities of industrial urban life. Their desire for justice, love, safety, and a good education is unforgettable, as is their hope for a future they deserve. The gritty black and white illustrations complement the poems perfectly.
