Evans is a long-standing voice in the performance poetry scene, who has performed at venues across the country and been featured on numerous final stages, including the National Poetry Slam and Individual World Poetry Slam. Evans's commanding, confident style shines through in these poems, which explore masculinity, fatherhood, and family, and what it means to make a home as a black man in contemporary America.

I wanted Evans to tell me about his relationship with his daughter. Of course, he does. But that's not enough. A couple of poems are not enough. He writes about his family, the kind of danger that always lurks around the corner, and how he adores his daughter. However, I wanted Evans to stay around the title. That he doesn't and I am disappointed. It's still a good read. Oh! That's a gorgeous cover.
