How does a Haitian-American kid grow up feeling privileged on certain levels with a beautiful home, sisters, grandmother, two middle-class parents, well educated, disciplined, and well-mannered to experiencing heartbreak, sadness, despair and loneliness? How does he have a father that has always been his guidance, protector and mentor, who then ceases to exist due to vices? Now, he must embark upon the journey alone to figure out his purpose all while being a man for his family. How does he cope with it all? Where does he find the answers? Life Comes From Concrete is the story of an NYC poet by the name of Kevin Anglade. Known as Kev Elev on stage when performing, LCFC tells the story of how an adolescent teenager transforms himself into a critical thinking black man living in America. This is Anglade's rite-of-passage documented in literary form through life and poetry.

As a teacher interested in the black experience, I found Anglade's work to be a very engaging and enlightening work in the real gripping issues facing young men feel today. Sometimes, I get on students about participation and college and the homework. Reading this narrative told through poetry, I understand now that it is a miracle that young men who are facing issues so far beyond the classroom even show up to school: the death of a parent, the death of a sibling, heartbreak, betrayal, and regular teenage angst.It is a miracle how Anglade was able to channel all of his issues into becoming a writer, who not only functioned in high school, but graduated from college and is well in his way to earning a master's degree.
Bravo, Mr. Anglade! I think that every teacher who wants to connect more with their African-American students should read your work as a reminder that outstanding success is possible amid the issues that this demographic faces, not only with race, but with growing up in general.
