Through red eyes, he saw the world. Through verses, he found his freedom.

Kobe Ramsey’s poetry is a mirror held up to both the beauty and the burdens of being Black. It is an exploration of identity, determination and resilience.

Life, all in all, is a battlefield—but these poems prove that healing is the ultimate victory.
