An enjoyable collection of poetry, The Intersection Of Beauty And Crime introduces the reader to a uniquely insightful perspective on everything from love to politics to freedom to the unending toll of racism. Skillfully compiled by author Jawanza Phoenix, each poetic piece boasts the seasoned wisdom and maturity of a soul who’s not only been there and done that – but has the scars to prove it.

Perhaps the most salient pieces featured in The Intersection are those tackling the not-so-subtle flaws of the criminal justice system. Whether bemoaning the plague of dirty cops, the scorn of compassion-less judges, or the destructive wake of overly ambitious prosecutors, Phoenix’s voice shines brightest when highlighting the ever-increasing chasm between legality and true justice. An experienced defense attorney himself, Phoenix maintains an authoritative position from which to expound on the ills of a system with no mercy for those without means – and his eye-opening insights are sure to strike a chord deep within the reader, particularly if you know of someone who’s been doomed by little more than bad luck and chance.

Subtly powerful, The Intersection Of Beauty And Crime presents a timely cross-section of a conflicted society that continues to turn a blind eye to itself. An enlightening read.
