Trade Review"Generating this type of collection gives a platform to writers, who are without a doubt talented live artists and performers. From the stage to the page - built on passion - this collection shows us a willingness coming out of each person to share what they have. Their words speak of society, of personal experience, struggle, freedom and rights. It's current and necessary for the time we are living in. This is a new generation of poets, singers and word smiths speaking for themselves. The collection rings out verses that shine in the hearts and mind of each writer who are shaping and reshaping time and place." - Khadijah Ibrahiim
