In this new book, Dr. Adams speaks to us about the truth of life and death. This is a subject many would back away from. It has been said that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. But Dr. Ayin is not a fool and the angels and God have seen the need for the truth to be shared about death as one of our greatest teachers.

"For the Love of Black Men is a thought-provoking, hard-hitting book of prose that offers renderings of past and present indignities, self-introspection, spiritual commitment, forgiveness and the necessity of solutions. It probes areas that are not openly discussed. More than just a book of poetry Ayin Adams’ volume addresses issues credibly, compassionately, and directly, with a minimum of soft edges. Adams transports the reader on a personal and private tour into a realm where some Black Men have had to wrestle and confront their own challenging questions concerning their wholeness."
--Gwyn Gorg - Author of I am the Blues
