What a wild and wondrous trip. My imagination hasn't been teased this way in quite some time. I felt myself absorbed into these dreamworlds and not wanting to leave.

Paint a dreamworld
solid enough
to hold us.

Saul Williams is such an impactful artist and thinker. I remember how much I loved Slam when it came out, saving my money to buy a VHS copy, and I remember how he challenged us to really think critically when he came to speak to my college class. I'd always wanted to have his works written down, although reading I instead felt the urge to watch Slam again. Powerful thoughts and powerful in performance.
