Which Came First – Toxic Masculinity or Racism?
The attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was a pivotal moment in U.S. history unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon. And while some in our government call for “healing” and “unity”, others are focused on cleaning out the wound first. Which bears the question – which do you grapple first, toxic masculinity or racism?

With illustrative precision and compelling imagination, F.E. Curtis, II brings to life the peril and promise of growing up as a Black male in America. With incredible ease, the tone and imagery of stories spanning three decades manifest itself in a way only thoughtful and unconventional poetry can. Curtis depicts the often unmentioned internal forces at odds in the mind while capturing the external systems attempting to eliminate his being. By using varied forms and styles of creative writing and poetry, the book moves effortlessly from loss of innocence to the haunting of suicide. I'm NOT Okay, Thanks for Asking is a unique, fresh and challenging exposé on growing up as a Black man in America that you've never seen before -- and will never be able to forget.
Note: This book discusses several adult themes and elements and contains explicit language and artistic sexual content. It also includes stories and poetry around suicide and sexual assault. It is not meant for children under the age of 16. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or depression, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255.
