More Than That Kindle Edition

by Anthony Alexandre (Author), Nuno Moreira (Illustrator), Nicole Fegan (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 23 ratings
Faith, Race, and Electrifying Intimacy. We all dream in poetry, and this dream is worth saying out loud.

More Than That is a compilation of poetry exploring various themes including faith, love, sex and racial tensions. The pieces are styled with a heavy emphasis on syllable placement, rhythm and rhyme scheme. Few pieces break from this norm. The author spends most of the book on musings and inner monologue, while relationship stands out as his main focus. More Than That breaks from the trends of hipster poetry, in hopes of offering more to the reader.

**Available in all formats**

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A year ago today, I would not have imagined that I would be writing to the readers of a book that I had authored . 2020 being what it has been, gave no indication that this would be a thing. Surprise seems to be the nature of poetry as far as it concerns me. For years I had felt the push and pull of poetry, towards a kind of freedom within me. I began to write at 12 years of age, and stopped abruptly at the age 19. I had experienced the end of consistent writing for 15 years outwardly, while the urge to write continued to surge within me. I do not fully know for sure, why I was unable to let the writing out. It may have been that I was afraid of the honesty that writing demanded. The fear of what others would think proved to be a halting mechanism, and a strong impediment to the art of writing. Through the undying encouragement of my friend and fellow poet Rudolph Thurman Jr., I began to take hesitant steps towards writing again, until the instinct within me revived. To this day, I honestly do not feel that I truly understand where poetry intends to take me. I do not know what it plans to take out of me. Writing feels as sporadic as a thunderstorm. I do know however, that I have loved and will love its obsession with disclosure.

After following this Poet on social media and listening to his content, I had high expectations for this book. I set myself up for an enjoyable treat. This book is simply amazing! Each poem has its own beat but the book comes together so beautifully with no one poem outshining the other. There are so many heartfelt pieces in this book echoing the grown and sexy vibe throughout. I have to shoutout my favorite two poems which are “Visiting Hours” and “Fractions Of My Love” with both being equally dope! Great job Poet!! Can’t wait for new material!

    This isn't just a collection of poetry....its more than that! Seriously, each section felt like I was scratching a lottery ticket and they were all winners. This author touches on so much throughout this book from love (human and divine) to self identity and intimacy all wrapped up in beautiful poetic prose. I laughed, I cried, I felt anger and resolve. I don't think I've ever read 127 pages without feeling the need to stop! I couldn't put it down! Definitely worth the read! Personal favorites #InLoveWithADream #Lost&Found #SelfHelp #Problem #PayingForFree #MidnightBlue #NeonBlack #Musci #VisitingHours #IfSheLovesMe #ThoughtsRevealed #Love&Making(1&2!) #Watercolorr Seriously a great buy and one you can read over and over again and still get chills!

    This poetry book is so honest! It talks about love, sex, being a man, being black, marriage, faith, so much, but in these really chewable doses. You can open it any time and read a few poems and then do that again later, or you can read the entire thing in one sitting! Either way, there is much to receive and to learn and enjoy! Great write!

    I absolutely love this book ! The poems are pure, beautiful and evocative . The poetry moves me to tears almost every time I read them. There are several pieces in this book (like the ones in this picture) that would make any woman feel special . The writer covers a variety of topics in the book such as beauty , love , social justice , his relationship with poetry , heartache , temptation, intimacy and much more. Today, it’s rare to hear a man express his thoughts on these topics so eloquently and this book offers us that rare opportunity. Sublime !

    The words were music on pages. This book was unlike any poetry I've ever read- with eloquence, cadence and intentionality that takes the reader through topics of love, racial inequality, faith and intimacy. This book is for all poetry lovers, new and seasoned. Also makes for a great gift!

    I would definitely recommend this book!!! I look forward to seeing what comes next from this Author!
