Review:
#Tapped not only offers us a story from the viewpoint of one person who experienced its depths to the fullest – it is perhaps the most courageous attempt at giving poetry a new form inspired by contemporary urban lyricism while retaining all of its age old qualities. Behind the shocking events of the book and the brutally raw honesty lies the intention of unearthing the most inconvenient truths as the only possible way of defeating the shadows of past and moving forward to the brighter side of life. @poetic.rome does not back off before the giants of a troublesome past – his intentions are his shield and his rhymes are his weapon; and this book is not only an autobiography, not only a memory, but a tribute to all those who have been wronged in what should be their harbors of safety, only to move on and build one that would be worthy of that name. This book, although so often unsettling, is the most beautiful tribute to love because it shows that it can be nurtured by those that have so often been deprived of it.
