In this third installment of his Experiment series, Maurice Myers turns everything he’s lived through into game, guidance, and gut-level honesty. This collection moves through anxiety, body image, street politics, family wounds, romantic chaos, and quiet joy—without ever pretending to have it all figured out.
Blending poems, short essays, haiku, and letters, Maurice walks you through:
Mind & Survival – battling depression, addiction, and spiritual fatigue in pieces like “Maurice F’n Myers (The Intro)” and “On My Own (The Trauma Response)”
Love & Loss – first loves, almosts, and soul ties in “1/16/2008 (Always & Forever)”, “Very Aware (I’m 90’s Fine Dammit)”, and “Erykah’s Track (Out My Mind)”
Body & Image – the lifelong war with weight and worth in “You Losing Weight? (No I’m Still Fat)”
Community & Chaos – gun violence, hood logic, and Black boy tragedy in “Target Practice (Bullets go Bang)”and “Big Homie”
Family & Lineage – grandfathers, fathers, little brothers, and ancestors in “Relief or Grief? (Granddaddy’s Son)”, “Lineage (Myers Man)”, and the closing Wise Words sections
