I saw Taylor Mali live earlier this summer. Before then, I'd never heard of the man. After seeing him perform, I'm a huge fan! This book explains some of his poetry and his reasoning behind what he's written. Although the prose is good, I enjoy his actual poems better. It's fun to read some of the behind-the-scenes thoughts he had as he completed certain poems though. This is a fun short read if you're looking for something entertaining and uplifting that doesn't require you to struggle to figure out what the author is trying to say. He says it straight out.
