Microphone Check is Gerald L. Coleman at his best. A defiant homily on privilege, race, and the social contract – his poems are neither timid nor retiring. With his finger on the pulse of the issues that grip our times, this Affrilachian Poet screams in blistering appeal to our human nature for justice. This is not the collection for readers seeking odes concerning flowers and misty summer mornings by the lake. It is poetry for revolutionaries and the conscious. Praise for Microphone Check: In Microphone Check, Gerald L. Coleman checks more than his sound. He checks my privilege, my conscience, my pulse. Coleman is akin to an Old Testament prophet, righteous and fed up, screaming out from the South one last warning to our country: for our sins of sanctioned murder, colonization, and terrorism against our citizens: now is the time to repent.
