Who is Antoine Edmonds?

Who is Antoine Edmonds?

Antoine Edmonds is a prolific poet harmonizing the pains and pleasures experienced in inner-city America. His vividly detailed words create an imagery that allows you to be lured into each poem as if you were standing there watching each of his reflections.

His groundbreaking debut book entitled Brown Paper Bag Life is a collection of poetry that is both mentally and visually stimulating. Edmonds’ expressive style provides depth and color to keep the reader hanging on every word. His use of verbal irony and symbolism creatively convey the poems’ subject matter, while visual imagery helps make the poems exciting and expressive. Whether writing about dreams abandoned in parking lots or orange, weathered basketballs waiting for play on the blacktop, Antoine’s reflections connect with the larger world.
