Black Bird Press News & Review: The Public Career of Marvin X by James G. Spady
....Marvin
X is a teacher of primeval knowledge, a knower of both street poetry
and book poetry. In fact, he combines the two in a powerful way. Each
verse is a teach act, each stanza--a class. His use of alliteration,
rhymes, assonance, dissonance and free rhymes indicates he has absorbed
the teachings of the academy. Yet, the street consciousness lying in the
cut of its content links him directly to the poets of the new idiom
called Rap.
