This long-awaited collection of poetry is a triumph of literary ambition and the sublime.Praise for The Road is Long:"Affrilachia has been waiting for this book for a long time. Spend time in these pages and experience why we offer up pepper!" ~ Frank X Walker Kentucky Poet Laureate 2013-2014 Author of Isaac Murphy: I Dedicate This Ride"the road is long, is a sorghum of love and truth; rage and triumph; uprising and love making. From Baltimore to Lexington, Kentucky, Coleman's poems are filled with black boys building "on the curve/of an hypotenuse/rather than the/ inelegant vertices/ of a square." Black nerd, comic book philosopher, pastor poet and keeper of Affrilachian truth, Gerald Coleman has done the work and here is the proof." ~ Kelly Norman Ellis Author of Tugaloo Blues and Offerings of Desire"the road is long speaks of moments anchored inside memories that linger like the warmth of a kiss or a night in a forbidden country. This culling originates below buried feet; it tempts the steel of emotion until from an open mouth, a water fountain of verses emerges in full medieval armor like a knight refusing to surrender, it howls." ~ Ricardo Nazario y Colón Author of The Recital and Of Jibaros and Hillbillies"Gerald L. Coleman delivers poems that are confident and sensitive, funny and heartbreaking, vulnerable and bristling-what life is and a poet should be. the road is long proves Coleman understands that connection, as a child's education in comic books and neighborhood footraces makes way for a wise seer who can't look away from American hypocrisy. Let Coleman's refrain "and my life is not cheap" ring out and touch every ear. This is a resilience to be admired."~ Mitchell L. H. Douglas2011 Winner - Lexi Rudnitsky Editor's Choice AwardAuthor of Cooling Board: A Long Playing Poem Nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the Outstanding Literary Work-Poetry category and a Hurston/Wright Legacy Award.
