MileStoneS: Poetry that Says it Louder

By Gary Huskisson

MileStones by renowned poet and storyteller Gary Huskisson is more than just a collection of verses; it's a profound journey through the life of a Black British Poet navigating the complexities of identity, grief, and resilience. Over five years, Huskisson's path unfolds from being the only "Black in the village" to confronting life-altering challenges, including multiple heart attacks brought on by the relentless stress of societal games.

In this powerful socio-political commentary, Huskisson blends the soulful rhythms of jazz, blues, and be-bop with raw emotion-infusing each poem with sarcasm, scat, joy, pain, and unflinching truth. MileStones is his debut book that offers a window seat view into a tumultuous period in his life marked by despair, racism, and hard-won victories.

"He knew how to spell racism before he knew his alphabet." Each milestone in Huskisson's life tells a unique story, revealing the paths he's walked and the choices that have defined his remarkable journey.
