Speaking with some people on their idea of what poetry means to them, blank stares greeted me as I awaited an answer. Often when that same question is brought up, the response is a usual, " Do people read or even like poetry anymore?"
Kolayah-KeeVan answers this question with a resounding yes with his latest profound and provocative collection of poetry in Only 1 Will Speak. At first glimpse you will see that this is not just your ordinary book of poetry but a look into a window of 30 years or more of this man's life. From the beginning the book gives you Kolayah's deep childhood thoughts on life, takes you down a dark descent into years of struggle, questions and despairs and uplifts you with a climatic triumph of finding himself. Find your one voice as you fall in love, laugh, cry and cheer as you absorb the poetry of Only 1 Will Speak.
The Celebration will be held Jan 26, 2008 3pm. The Gnu's Room Bookstore 414 s Gay st Auburn, Alabama 36830. Come out, celebrate and get an autographed copy of Only 1 Will Speak [Provocative Poetry] from the bestselling author of MOUTHSWIDESHUT, Kolayah-KeeVan. This milestone is an event that the whole family can enjoy.
