Blueprint

Yictove writes with the resonance of a native New Orleans bluesman, the sharp eye of a New York City street poet, the rolling rhythm of a Jamaican dub-poet, and the vision of a prophet circling the modern Jericho. These poems are alive, whispering and booming, testifying to what Yictove means when he says: "Tongues that do speak the truth / are remarkable to listen to."
