Book Reviews of The Seventh Octave - The Early Writings of Saul Stacy Williams
Book Review: this hiphop got *smarts*
Summary: 4 Stars
I shy away from hiphop that doesn't do its homework. Maybe the gods are getting even, because this one is sending *me* back to the stacks. Saul stands out with Sekou Sundiata as the rarest of the rare: the poets who are not only strong and entertaining, but have a near-magical sense of history and their place in it. Also, I was very pleased to see that either Williams or Moore (his publisher) had the insight to use graphic layout and design techniques to add visual interest to the page--something I've only seen in a handful of poetry books: Saul's, Edwin Torres', and my own (no relation). Having seen some of the pieces contained in The 7th Octave performed live, the book is no substitute for the aural experience, but it's well worth double the asking price to have this stuff in print the next time you're at the library--Saul's references can leave you dusted... "Now, let's see ... luna ... lunar...Ah-ha: lunatic."
