Kwame Alexander takes his literary talent for verse and prose — and travels inward. From vulnerability and honesty, Alexander shares from his personal life. A book that’s sure to be transformative for readers of all ages — I highly recommend it.

Even when Kwame Alexander writes in prose form, the words are music to my ears. Why Fathers Cry at Night is a memoir, recipe book, family history, poetry collection and beautifully rendered written record of the life of a father - from the late 60's to today.

This book will change you - in some way. I challenge you to read it , to read the poems aloud, to ruminate on the prose, and to try the recipes. I believe it will bring joy to your life! Kwame shares his own life in a way that allows the reader to consider their own joyful existence.

Kwame Alexander is a masterful poet. I read this in one sitting; each poem, each recipe, each journal entry pulled me in deeper.

Alexander reflects on his own childhood, fatherhood, love, longing, and aspirations. He brings readers into his world through words only he could string together with such eloquence. A must-read collection of poignant prose and heartfelt tributes to those he loves most.

Look for this May 2023.
