A review by killajan
Now and Then... by Gil Scott-Heron

5.0

man. myth. legend. in the words of a dear friend, GSH is not simply a poet, nor rapper, not artist but an enigma. this book has been curated so beautifully that i started the first poem in tears and ended the very last poem in the same way. his way with words, his connect to life, to art, to the issues that plagued the ordinary black people of his time; many of which still haunt their kindred, is something i cannot explain. i have never seen such Beauty in poetry until the moment i picked up this. may he rest in peace and i hope that he is crafting more songs of life wherever his soul now resides.
