The Barbershop Rhythm

'The Barbershop Rhythm' is a poetry chapbook that consists of 23 poems. The poems in the collection are just plain masterful, if that's not to say the least. This is a collection from a poet who is tirelessly looking for ways to reinvent himself. It won't be a mistake to say that this collection sees him pioneering a new form and movement that could be called Rap Poetry. All the poems in this slim collection are like punchlines and would leave readers "chasing for the edge of the moon."
