I'm utterly fascinated by Williams wordplay. Not sure I understood what every poem tried to convey but for the most part I loved it.

Saul Williams, an amazing poem about a dysfunctional relationship. My words cannot do this mans work any sort of justice.

liked it.....he has good insight

Simply beautiful.

I am very selective about poetry, but Saul Williams has a voice that is unmatched in modern literature.

absolutely beautiful and human and sincere.

I find it hard to read poetry sometimes, but I really love this book. I am excited to say that Saul Williams is a great writer and poet. I enjoy his style of writing as well as his deliverance. I love to see him perform. I saw him in Nashville and in Cleveland and I enjoyed both shows. I also saw him on a TV Series called "Girlfriends" in which he often recited. Amazing! Sometimes his lyrics are haunting and that's what makes him so good.

Needed pared down. Too many 'meh' pieces here that could have easily been trimmed from the 120-page collection, but the tops here are tops.

Easily my favorite collection from Mr. Williams.

There were a few poems that I thought were beautiful. Overall though, I didn't very much care for this collections. Not because of the quality of his work, his messaging was just not for me. There was too much selfishness disguised as concern, like being vulnerable is an excuse for being an asshole.

This was gorgeous. Like most poetry I read, I don't know if I completely understood everything I was reading, but I did FEEL everything that I was reading. Saul Williams taps into the heart so well with his beautiful words. I especially liked the focus on femininity this collection has, especially the authors own.

I first heard Saul Williams, like so many people, in the film Slam. But his words are more than one mere movie can contain. His poetry in She is some of the most moving and interesting contemporary work I have read.

I'm a fan of different kinds of poetry, but I'm especially partial to the Beats: Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti. Williams recaptures some of that feel. His work is meant to be read aloud, spoken word that creates a synergy from reader to listener. His work has a beat of its own. It is easy to understand his rhythm and wonderful to be lost in his words.

The individual poems are often romantic, sometimes haunting, and occasionally unsettling. It would take more room than I have here to discuss them in any depth. I'll just say that Williams works on several levels, and I appreciate She more with each reading.

Thankfully, an audio CD is included with She. On it, Williams reads excerpts of his own work, so you can hear the poetry in the author's own voice, in his own style. It is invaluable to helping the reader understand Williams beyond the words on the page. But once the reader hears Williams, that soft, resonating voice will stay in the mind, whispering from the pages and guiding the reader from poem to poem.

If you love poetry, whether or not you are a fan of spoken word poetry, you must pick up this book. I count my copy among my most cherished volumes.

Saul Williams is a gifted poet, spoken word artist and emcee.
