Poetry will save your life. ( )

Passionate, clever, intense. ( )

The first two sections were quite good. After that it starts to get rather silly. Section 8 and onwards sound an awful lot like 5-Percent Nation 'building'. ( )

While I really enjoy some of Saul Williams' poetry and have especially enjoyed watching some of him perform (yes, perform, not recite) some of his poetry in the past, this particular book was, to be blunt, utter dribble. It is packed full of feminist, anti-Christian garbage all written with a condescending, smarter-than-thou tone and all equally based upon an ignorant understanding of the world and an apparent complete lack of knowledge of either the history and dynamics of Western culture or of Christianity. And, to boot, it's a terrible excuse for "poetry." Avoid this one like a steaming pile in a cow pen. ( )

Saul Williams' second volume of poetry is a tidal wave of visual verse that turns words to ciphers and breathes life into symbols. A declaration of independent from the phallic tomb. A revolution to move ALL-kind back into the cosmic womb so they can be re-born. Arresting and refreshing. ( )
