Book Reviews of Said the Shotgun to the Head
Book Review: FOOD FOR THE MIND, SOUL, AND HEART
Summary: 5 Stars
May I please start out by saying I saw Saul Williams live recently and this experience (live) is almost exactly like reading one of his written works. Saul, both live and in his writing draws one in, that is perhaps the most notable aspect of Mr. Williams. There is no escaping his power. I literally feel like I am alive in his words, feelings exactly as the words describe, heart beating to the same drum. What Saul has to say comes from different places be it anger, sorrow, happiness, it is true to every emotion life bestows upon it's creatures. Like "She" his current work ",said the shotgun to the head" left my feeling like I had been starving for something of this nature. ", said the shotgun to the head" is if you enjoy Saul Williams another of his great works, it makes you think about life, politics, one's family, and everything we look at (be it people, love, crimes, racism, etc.)but never stop to think about, everything we hide from but can't run from...it is all in his writings. If anything this book will make you feel aware, it will evoke some emotion (whatever it may be) and in this world that is a mighty big gift. It is difficult for me to give you a description, an outline of his poem, Saul doesn't write that way but this is an emotional, thought-provoking read that I read in one sitting because putting it down proved too difficult a task. ",said the shotgun to the head" felt like it was food for my mind, soul and heart. Please read it.
Summary of Said the Shotgun to the Head
Have not been born yet
They are waiting quietly
For their past to die
please give blood
Here is the account of a man so ravished by a kiss that it distorts his highest and lowest frequencies of understanding into an Incongruent mean of babble and brilliance...
