Book Reviews of The Seventh Octave - The Early Writings of Saul Stacy Williams
Book Review: Newburgh is finally on the map
Summary: 5 Stars
In fourth grade, I played a bit part in "The King and I" at my local high school in Newburgh, NY. I have some quirky memories about the play -- the costumes, the makeup, the sarcastic director who later became my 9th-grade English teacher -- but above all I remember the high-school senior who stole the show. It was obvious that the 18-year-old who played the king, Saul Stacey Williams, had a career as a performer ahead of him.Many of the poems in this book were written back then, while Stacey was in high school, and I had the pleasure of hearing them live in his many local performances. Almost a decade later, he is finally getting the recognition he deserves -- with two books and an award-winning movie, "Slam." It's great to know that more people can be exposed to the poetic genius who used to be Newburgh's best-kept local secret...This book is just a small taste of his talent.
Book Review: SAUL WILLIAMS
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best poetry collections i've read. This is the second book of Sauls i've read and it is much better than she which is a mtv publication. Sorry but mtv ruins all just look at hip hop now. Anyway Saul gives you some thought provoking material. all you have to do is go to the library and look up the Dogon tribe and see how well read this man is. That aspect of him is reflected in his words. Check him out let him open eyes. If you get any bad reviews about this guy believe me they are based on pure ignorance.Book Review: Saul Williams

Summary: 4 Stars
This book was a gift for a close friend of mine and in his words, he has loved it. The words speak volumes to him and it's been great to see him this happy over something simple as a book of poetry. I recommend anyone that wants to read some really deep poetry should buy this book.Book Review: Verbal aAchemy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an example of poetry in its purest, untampered state. If you have ever wanted to read good poetry, this is the book to read.
