One night after leaving a poetry show in New York City, a simple thought came to mind: “I can do that.”
 
That moment sparked the beginning of this collection. I Can Do That is a gathering of poems shaped by experience, resilience, and the voices that guide us forward. From reflections on ancestry and faith to sharp commentary on culture, injustice, and growth, Uncle Turp the Poet captures moments that challenge us to rise above circumstance and remember the strength carried in our stories.
 
Whether he is honoring ancestors, lifting up everyday heroes, or calling out injustice with bold clarity, Uncle Turp speaks to the heart of what it means to endure, transform, and keep pushing.
