Sunshine and Concrete

"Sunshine and Concrete is a book that will take you high as the sky with poems about the magic of summer, curry cooking in a coal black pot, grade school parties back in the day, nightclubbing in L.A. and the simple beauty of apricots. The poems will also smack you down on the ground with tales of pandemic survival, racism, insurrection and wanton political corruption. Dichotomies exist in this book, and they both hold hands."

In her debut book, "Sunshine and Concrete", Lynda La Rose delivers a passionate ensemble of visually enchanting poetry filled with flavor and color, from the innocent viewpoint of a child of the seventies, to a politically driven, artistic woman's point of view in the present tense. Lynda paints a colorful, poetic photo album that is filled with childhood memories, as well as, a reflection of the ills of today's world by delivering a first hand account of the 2020 pandemic.
