Narration In Favor Of Books , said the shotgun to the head.

Holy shit. I'm crying just typing this review even though I finished the book like 10 minutes ago. This is the book that reignited my love for poetry. Although only half this book made sense to me, and typically that would infuriate me, this was just absolutely GORGEOUS. Williams had me from page one, and in this book he criticized the patriarchy, war, religion, and this was generally just a roller coaster ride that brought me to tears. It was so raw and it was centered on a love story, but grew so much in these 182 pages. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend and i'm going to go read his other two poetry books that I own right now.

Said the shotgun to the head is genius. Just pure genius. I don't know where that man got his talent, but I'd so love to just pick his brain. He's so good he makes me want to be better at everything i do!I want to be as good at anything as he is at writing poetry!I will never stop looking for that thing, and when I find it my life will be worthwhile even if I never make a dime. I cant love him or this book more, it will never leave me.

I read this in Finnish and English at the same time. The Finnish translator is my co-worker and he brought me these.What a treat it was: reading two books at the same time. Especially this strong and beautiful one. There was beautiful wordplay, all along important topics of prefering matriarchy over patriary, love and criticism of war and the government of George W. Bush.This had rhythm, reading this was hip hop.A very nice experience.

This blew my mind.I was at a local bookshop, with a friend, on a blustery day, in December. We both grabbed the book at the same time, and sat there on the floor, flipping page to page, reading it together.It is Lovely. It is shockingly laid out, at times hard to see, for it overwhelms you. Other times, you feel like you can't seem to get enough, so that you wish to climb into the words themselves.

Saul Williams is by far the greatest performing-poet I have ever seen.

, said the shotgun to the head. is a very strange (people who are nicer than me would probably say: unique) and complex poem. I wanted to write this review for a couple of days now and I really struggled... I struggled because A) I feel like I haven't properly understood what Saul was trying to say, and B) I understood enough to be overwhelmed with what I want to discuss. Upon skimming some reviews here on Goodreads I am reassured, because I don't seem to be the only one with that problem.oil

Absolutely brilliant. I have seen him live and even without music he has enough charisma to fill a room with expectation and hold rapt their attention. What an amazing wordsmith for I refuse to believe that he is anything less than a master craftsman who creates these words with a deliberate passion. I will never be able to say enough good about this book. At my work I have shared a few quotes from this book and people always ask me where it came from. He has the same power of words as renowned
