LaQuell Coleman's debut collection "the Black Sheep" is a masterpiece of love, hate, depression and happiness. It tells the story of someone who won't let life keep them down, someone who strives to be the best person they can be. The Black Sheep is not just a poetry book but a testament of LaQuell Coleman's journey through life. The term black sheep is commonly used as a negative label for somebody different from their family or group of peers. The Black Sheep is a symbol of hope for all the "black sheep". No matter how different you are, no matter how strange people may call you, be yourself because nobody else can be a better you.
