first two pages
The book I wanted to bring was, "Said the Shotgun to the Head" by Saul Williams. This man writes incredible poetry, had me at the very first line, first two pages, never lost me until it was time to finish the book. When I finished it, I read it over again immediately. I bookmarked certain pages, thought about tattooeing some of his words on my body.... the poetry is musical, rhythmic, and blows your mind into intensely deep and thoughtful places. Saul Williams' poetry reminds me of the acutely aware and intuitive subconcious each one of us posesses, but mixes it with common logic and sense. His words are loaded, so compact and rich, it will keep you thinking for days. His poetry makes me feel like I discovered a new way to breathe, a way that makes you and everything around you turn into a god. So yeah, this would be the book.
