Review
Yictove has left his magical
fingerprints everywhere. He writes with the resonance of a
native New Orleans bluesman, the sharp eye of a New York City
street poet, the rolling rhythm of a Jamaican dub-poet, and the
vision of a prophet circling the modern Jericho. These poems are
alive, whispering and booming, testifying to what Yictove means
when he says: "Tongues that do speak the truth / are
remarkable to listen to."
--James Nolan, author What Moves Is Not
