My Name Is Jason Mine Too - Jason Reynolds Jason Griffin Kartoniert (TB)

A stunning visual autobiography of two crazy-talented besties bestselling and award-winning author Jason Reynolds and painter Jason Griffin who could never be who they are singularly if they weren't who they were together. Once upon a time in America there were two Jasons. Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin. One a poet. One an artist. One Black. One white. Two voices. One journey in mind: to move to New York the city of dreams to make their own dreams come true. Willing to have a life not un-hard so long as it wasn't unhappy. Willing to let the city swallow them whole so long as it gives them their chance. They had each other. What if painting was a sin and the poetry became taboo. And no one ever clapped for me again. My question is would you? They clapped. Oh they clapped. And aren't we glad?
