BROKE BAROQUE is the third in a series of Broke Books by award-winning poet, Tony Medina. With razor sharp scatological whimsy, Medina's iconic ironic existential everyman-Broke-bears witness to the plight of homelessness from his curbside porch, torching the capitalist system and its myriad societal contradictions. BROKE BAROQUE, a compulsively readable collection that will connect with fiction and poetry lovers alike, includes a powerful introduction by McArthur-winner Ishmael Reed.
TONY MEDINA, two-time winner of The Paterson Prize for Books for Young People, is the author/editor of sixteen books for adults and young readers, including I and I, Bob Marley, My Old Man Was Always on the Lam, Broke on Ice, An Onion of Wars, and The President Looks Like Me and Other Poems. Medina’s poetry, essays and fiction appear in numerous publications. The first Professor of Creative Writing at Howard University, in 2013 Medina was awarded both The Langston Hughes Society Award and the first African Voices Literary Award.
