Media Reviews
His name is magic, his poems are songs on the street. * * Independent * *
Hugely enjoyable, inventive, funny and touching. * * Guardian * *
The product of an imagination that is rare, passionate, committed, occasionally distraught and tender. * * Straight No Chaser * *
Sissay writes of love, hate, politics and everyday trivia with an accessible, compelling and unusual honesty. * * Big Issue * *
[Listener] presents on page its very own visual and musical sparkle... -- Mary Mazzilli * * Incorporating Writing * *
A work of vision and playfulness whose poems address everything from war and colonialism to love e-mails . . . Piercingly beautiful. * * Big Issue * *
