Reviews

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

poetry that needs to be read out loud.
poems influenced by the contexts of Britain and Rastaffarian experience.
Some great poems on justice and the call to peace

[Geoff from · Rating 3 out of 5]

Patchy with some repetition, which, however, does lend it a theme and a feeling, and there are some real gems in here so it is a worthy collection and worth your time.
