Black Rage
Author of book: From Street to Hell
Review:
"Black Rage is the resident poet on my Sunday inflomation show on www.backayardradio.com. All i can say is he has been though the fire and has been re-born and this book is a testiment of that. So i will now book him to talk to our youth whatever colour they are. A very impressive 1st book."

Introducing: Poetry from a Blackmans Perspective
Poetry from a Blackman’s perspective is not seen as emotional, for emotional feelings, where as it is the heart that controls the mind, for the instance you could be sad and write about something that makes you feel glad or vice-versa.
“When I write, I try to balance with stability, nothing is seen controversial. Although, surprisingly, the reader will certainly agree with the concept.
From the days of hieroglyphics in Egypt, Black people have got their point across with pronounce accuracy, so following in the footsteps of my Ancestors the path is made easier.”
