Title: dissapointing, unsatisfactory poetry
Product review: I am a well known and respected poet from the bay area, and also an Alicia Keys fan. I was very dissapointed by this book, in which the poetry is mediocre and stereotypical. It sounded like one long running teenage rant, like "why don't you love me? I am sad! I hate my life" kinds of things. not intellectual or original. I am surprised because i thought she was lyrically better than that. The writing is poor, and on the level of a middle school student. People that I know that like this book have even admitted they are not familiar with a lot of poetry and don't know how to recognize good poems. Shes lucky she has the connections to publish a book, because if she was some regular girl no one would wanna read her poems.
