Summary: "Situated squarely in the oral traditions of hip-hop and breakbeat poetry, Idris Goodwin's work bridges the divide between the reader and the poet. Combining tongue in cheek and the irreverent with the melancholy and incisive, Goodwin's poetry samples and repurposes pop culture--in order to reflect and remix the stories we tell ourselves--and each other--in order to live"--Back cover.
