Summary: Steve Colman
Comment: Hi! I actually haven't read the book yet, but I did see Steve Colman perform and he is amazing. I am actually looking for Steve's book that he wrote after this one--on his own. If anyone knows where to find it, please email me at [email protected].

Summary: Slammin'
Comment: A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to happen upon the book release party in New York that accompanied this amazing work. It features a selection of poetry from the 1998 National Slam Champion team, whose members have roots in the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in New York City. Compelled to buy this book immediately, I haven't been able to put it down since. The magic of this work truly has to do with the ways in which the words leap off of the pages. They are not limited by their printed form - each poem is inextricably connected to its spoken word beginnings, evident in the bebop rhythms and flowing verses. The flavor of each individual poet is magnificently displayed in each and every selection in this work. In their selections, Lynne Procope's lyrical rhythms lull you into the fire of her pride as a Caribbean woman. Guy LeCharles Gonzalez tells us tales of his Bronx upbringing. Steve Colman's rules of grammar would floor any high school English teacher. Alix Olson's cutting edge verse would make Mayor Giuliani's toes curl. And the patriarch of it all, Roger Bonair-Agard, weaves stories of his own childhood in which you can positively smell the islands. This work of art is highly recommended to any fan of spoken word, poetry slams, or to anyone who is simply interested in poetry by young, fresh, political voices. It is a beautiful book from start to finish.
