Tears For My Ancestor![]() Malik "Word Bird" Canty presents his fourth collection of straight talk, heartfelt realism with volume 1 of this Afro-Ancestral series. Tears For My Ancestors is a compilation of works with a poetic flavor that strongly communicates authentic stories for people of African descent.
Word Bird feels that because so much of Black History has been hidden or distorted, it is important that these stories be told whole. Thus he challenges readers with this question: "Who, among you, has the courage to teach the children and others the TRUTH?" "Tears For My Ancestors" serves as a stimulating resource for enlightening all age and ethnic groups about the unadulterated truth and untold stories regarding the rich heritage and enslavement of a resilient people. |

Poetic Fire![]() This collection of thoughts seek to remind the reader that Poetry, just like Reality, needs to be paid attention to before things explode....
Take time with the pages of "Poetic Fire" because each note is a story within a story and since some people like it HOT, I decided to let the words flow even if it bruises a few egos. |

Who Hears the Poet When He Weeps?![]() Each page from this collection should invoke a feeling, a reaction, a nod of approval or disapproval .... I seek to get in touch with your conscience before Conditioning sets in again. Our human emotions have been revised, everything that hurts we try to hide.
"Who Hears the Poet When He Weeps?" seeks to put to rest a myth, because it's a lie that REAL MEN DON'T CRY .... My pen speaks ... My pen weeps ... |

Word From The River![]() This collection of poetic thoughts was written to inform, entertain and persuade the readers into conscience agreement that truth can be flavorful as well as powerful.
"WORDS FROM THE RIVER" is a testimony of the durability and ever flowing thoughts of a man who is blessed to understand that "I write" because the words flow in my soul like the endless stream of a river. The words tell the stories of the continued struggle of our people and like the RIVER we keep flowing and we keep going. |
