Description: Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur This collection of more than 100 poems that honestly and artfully confront topics ranging from poverty and motherhood to Van Gogh and Mandela is presented in Tupac Shakurs own handwriting on one side of the page, with a typed version on the opposite side. Targeted mailings. (Poetry) FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "His talent was unbounded, a raw force that commanded attention and respect.His death was tragic — a violent homage to the power of his voice.His legacy is indomitable — remaining vibrant and alive."Here now, newly discovered, are Tupacs most honest and intimate thoughts conveyed through the pure art of poetry — a mirror into his enigmatic life and its many contradictions.Written in his own hand at the age of nineteen, they embrace his spirit, his energy...and his ultimate message of hope. Author Biography TUPAC SHAKUR was born in June 1971. At the age of 19 he released his first album, SEX PACKETS, with a band called Digital Underground.
