Description

Hip-hop’s favorite poet and Grammy Award–winning artist J. Ivy bares his soul on this inspirational memoir of pain transformed into healing and empowerment.

J. Ivy is a true pioneer and trendsetter who’s bridged the worlds of hip-hop and poetry through his appearances on HBO’s Def Poetry and his collaborations with Kanye West and Jay-Z. But right through his success, he carried with him the pain of being abandoned by his father and growing up within the tough neighborhoods of Chicago’s South Side.

So he sat down with pen and paper and processed his pain the one way he knew how—through poetry. The resulting poem, Dear Father, became his vehicle of forgiveness and healing. This is a pivotal poem that has touched and inspired the lives of millions.

Fused together with his signature raw lyricism and street consciousness, J. Ivy’s memoir shows what it takes to handle your emotions before your emotions handle you. His story is personal yet universal, and will inspire others to channel no matter what pain they’ve experienced into their very own powerful gift of expression.
