Summary

"Come see about me, Marvin is accessible, honest poetry about and for real people. In the collection, brian g. gilmore seeks to invite the reader into a fantastical dialogue between himself and Marvin Gaye--two black men who were born in the nation's capital but moved to the Midwest for professional ambitions. In trying to acclimate himself to a new job in a new place--a place that seemed so different from the home he had always known--gilmore often looked to Marvin Gaye as an example for how to be.These poems were derived as a means of coping in a strange land."--Book cover.
