All My Heroes Were Assassinated: Poems for Our Beautifully Tragic Experiences

A poignant and multi-dimensional collection of poems by Sean Johnson, All My Heroes Were Assassinated explores the trajectory of Black History from its birth through Civil Rights, growing pains and heartache before landing at the feet of the emotionally-fraught arena of Black America today.

This collection is an intimate and personal conversation between a Black woman and the beautiful and tragic experiences that make us human.

As a witness to the pain, plight, and progression of African Americans, Sean Johnson has perceptively and poetically managed to chronicle the stories of the Black community while simultaneously delving into and unraveling the labyrinth of self.

All My Heroes embodies the fearless determination of a people and the spirit and passion of a Black woman.
