Freedom Poems: Poems to Live, Love, Fight, Die, and Resurrect By

Freedom Poems is a powerful collection that fuses lived experience, sociological insight, and lyrical expression. Drawing from a life shaped by community, military service, scholarship, and survival, Sid R. Jacobs, Ph.D., delivers poetry that speaks to freedom in all its forms—personal, political, spiritual, and social.

These poems explore love and loss, resistance and resilience, struggle and resurrection. Grounded in the realities of race, class, gender, incarceration, and reintegration, Jacobs uses poetry as a vehicle for truth-telling and healing.

Freedom Poems is not only a book to read—it is a book to live with.
