Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canela con Miel y Clavos (Cinnamon with Honey and Cloves) explores the complexities of growing up as a Black male of Caribbean and Hispanic heritage in the urban America of the 1960s. This collection of poems, dribbles & drabbles, vignettes, short stories, and an essay express Dr. Robert Woodbine's personal and poignant memories and offers insights into the caustic effects of racism both past and present. A product of the Black Arts Movement, he examines this racial and cultural history and, with measured acerbic lyricism, reveals elements of these struggles through the lens of his own experiences.Where these issues remain unresolved or efforts seem futile, Canela con Miel y Clavos gently coaxes the hopeful towards the universal power of spiritual transcendence.
