Down South Poets, Volume 1 is a poetic tribute to, and a sincere reflection of, the evolution of African-American life in the South. Highly evident is the influence that hip-hop, blues, and jazz have had on the content and style of contemporary spoken word. This unique and engaging collection includes more than thirty poems and a foreword by Texas songwriter and singer, Ron Horne, and an epilogue by Mississippi poet, C. Liegh McInnis.
