About the Book

Malik "Word Bird" Canty presents his fourth collection of straight talk, heartfelt realism with volume 1 of this Afro-Ancestral series. Tears For My Ancestors is a compilation of works with a poetic flavor that strongly communicates authentic stories for people of African descent. Word Bird feels that because so much of Black History has been hidden or distorted, it is important that these stories be told whole. Thus he challenges readers with this question: "Who, among you, has the courage to teach the children and others the TRUTH?" Tears For My Ancestors serves as a stimulating resource for enlightening all age and ethnic groups about the unadulterated truth and untold stories regarding the rich heritage and enslavement of a resilient people.
About the Author: Malik Canty is a Retired Teacher, Spiritual Poet, and Author, who speaks for the voiceless. Known around the poetry circuit as the Word Bird, Malik has performed in various places, such as The Apollo Theatre, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Shomburg Cultural Center and McDonalds Gospelfest. He has also been published in several magazines, newsletters and anthologies; and been a featured Poet on 89.9 FM radio. In addition, Malik "Word Bird" Canty is the author of "Who Hears the Poet When He Weeps?"; "Poetic Fire"; and "Words From The River," of which Rev. Dr. Johnny Ray Youngblood dubbed him "prophetic in his poetry" and "Poet Laureate" of St. Paul Community Baptist Church, in the book's introduction. Word Bird writes to reveal the messages in his soul and as a witness of the durability of his people. The spirit and eyes of many speak to his soul, which leads him to intuitively write and speak for those individuals or groups who are afraid, incapable of expressing themselves, or don't know how to communicate effectively. If Word Bird lands by you, there is a message for you. Let whosoever has an ear, hear and pay attention to what the spirits have to say. It is sure to be a "feeding time for the mind" experience.
