A review by serenaac
She (Original) by Saul Williams
5.0
She by Saul Williams is a collection of interconnected musical poems coupled with a collection of images from Marcia Jones that tells a story about a woman and their journey together. On his Website, he says, “This book chronicles my thoughts and feelings as a young man working through an early relationship with an amazing visual artist as we embark on adulthood and parenthood in the same breath.”
Each of Williams’ poems has a unique rhythm to it, and should be read aloud for effect. Each is as expressive as you would expect Williams to be in real life, becoming an extension of himself and his digital, visual, and audio art. Unlike other collections, Williams’ She is a story beginning to end with a prologue and epilogue and prose poetry. The nameless She is integral to the journey, a connection to the past and the future, illustrated through short lines and “out loud” cadence that screams to be read aloud.
