How the Boogeyman Became a Poet

HOW THE BOOGEYMAN BECAME A POET written by Tony Keith Jr.

Tony Keith Jr.’s HOW THE BOOGEYMAN BECAME A POET is a YA free verse memoir that weds dialect, imagery, and a well-woven wealth of themes in a journey of becoming, belonging, and owning and declaring the most real parts of oneself. Though much of this book takes place in high school and college, the issues, non-graphic presentation, and early scenes make this work for middle schoolers.
