Product Description:
Garrett's first book of poems attempts to extend the tradition of the Negritude movement, but displays a sense of style uniquely his own. Utilizing a number of poetic forms, Garrett pays homage to his heroes and elders while showing his abiding love for hip-hop, injecting a sense of play into many of his poems. Garrett's poetry has been featured regularly in the media, including HBO's THE WIRE, IFC, and at the Indie Black Film Festival.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Rhythm and Rhyme
I found the book insightful and delightful. The words sway with a jazzy/hip-hop/R&B rhythm. Yet, they express vivid images of the author's joy, pain, and love. Anyone can relate to these written words, because they are simple,honest, and passionate. If you are lover of poetry and/or jazz, you will love this book. Even if you don't like poetry and/or jazz, you will still enjoy this book.
