Unrequited Expressions

By Tamaz Young

Unrequited Expressions is a collection of poetry that deals with a wide variety of social and personal issues, from race, mental health, love, loss, family, and so on. The main idea showcases what it is like to be black in America. Young deals with the daily struggles and joys of his life using therapeutic words which demonstrate the vulnerability of his lines. The poems present themselves as a mirror to reflect the personality and spirit of the author so much so that one should feel a deep connection to him by its end despite differences in livelihood. The approach to everyday circumstances is very thoughtful with optimism and hope, even in the face of such hatred and hardship. This collection reinforces the power of having an open mind while also shedding a light on controversial issues in American society, emotional relationships, and the importance of self.
