Concrete Heartbeats from the AVE: Concrete Heartbeats

From the gritty perspective of a “Product of the Block” comes Concrete Heartbeats from the A.V.E., a collection of poems by Author Derek "CoopDavill" Cooper. Concrete Heartbeats reflects a day in the life from the perspective of African American people living in the heart of Urban America. This collection represents a gamut of experiences that are meant to inform people on what it feels like to be Black living in some of America’s toughest cities. Some of these experiences are somber, some are joy-filled, yet all are meant to give a glimpse of the “Black Experience.” “I want to show people what it is like being Black in America so that hopefully one day this type of project will create compassion in how other Americans deal and interact with Black people. We are Americans too”. ---CoopDavill Read more
