Blackicon Breakdance My first book is finally here!!!!

My first book is finally here!!!!

Johnathan Brown's Storefront - Lulu.com

Open you eyes, you mind, your life, your soul, your heart, your love, your hate.

Take into consideration...My Counter Proposal, The poetic decisions I've lived through

A collection of poems bringing a view into the life of a African male born and raised in America.

From fatherhood, loving and losing love, to fighting to live free.

Jalili B. Jimiyu puts a free verse style of poetry to work telling the world about his life and will to live.

A first book but by no means a last by a poet, Revolutionary, lover , Freedom Fighter, liver of life even against all the odds.......

My Counter Proposal, The poetic decisions I've lived through

--------------------------

This was a long time coming and lots of work.
All of what you will read is my early work and pretty soon then next one (Notes Of HOPE) will be soon to follow.

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR BROTHER!!!!

lol I got sick of waiting on other people to tell me I was good enough for them to publish me so I went on ahead and did it myself the next FOUR books that follow I'm going to go off the template thing and have my own covers and such so prepare for some BIG THINGS in the coming months.

Thanks al for the support.

I am so proud of you Jalili. I will be saving up for this lol. It'll be a special treat.

It's been wonderful watching you grow as a writer. Stay on your path.
