Customer Reviews of Recognize: Poems
recognize Recognize, the last poem in the book is the best one. He seems to finally speak honestly, directly without dodging and hiding his meaning. There is a real voice, authentic in its authority, demanding your attention. recognize this. Its Kevin Powell's voice, describing the state of the world in general,& in specific, his life. The first section of the book seems scattered, but the finale brings it all together in the end.
Oh Kevin.........
I loved Kevin on MTV and I love him even more since reading his poetry. Kevin brings to surface very real issues and relating is not that hard. I believe he has some developing to do regarding his style. Overall he is very promising and brings to the table an interesting commentary on life. Kevin if you are ever in Jersey look me up;)
Poetry Is More Than Typing Words
I picked up this book for a buck in a discount bin at a local chain bookstore because I remember seeing Kevin Powell on MTV. A true poet has artistic insight and Powell clearly lacks the necessities to be a genuine artist. His poetry is thin and childish, very much like singer Jewel's collection of poetry. Being young, male, and black is not enough. One needs talent, too. I'll stick with Hattie Gossett, Willie Perdomo, and the other generation of young black and latino poets who are writing words that change lives!
