Solo by
Kwame Alexander solidified a suspicion I had about Alexander. Alexander is the new
Walter Dean Myers, the new
Sherman Alexie, the new
Gary Paulsen. He is the new amazing. And while it might seem cool to put him up there with those big names, I want to make sure that it is clear that I don't mean it in a "good job, dude, you are getting there, you made the big time!" kinda way, because Alexander probably always was this good. And when I say good I mean masterful. So I mean no, "good going kid" by that at all. I simply think he is one of the best.
