Title: a reader's poet
Review: There are writer's writers and reader's writers. Derrick is definately a reader's writer. What's that mean? His poetry is entertaining, clever, funny, well paced, diverse and very readable. Spend a few moments with his poems, or dig deep into them. The choice is yours. His direct writing is easy to relate to. The honesty of his voice (pacing, phrasing, subject matter) comes through written as it does spoken (I've actually heard/seen him read!). He doesn't try to alienate the reader with over-complicated imagery or flowery rhyme drenched drivel. As a writer, myself, I read his poetry in awe. Nothing is forced and all the words seem to come out from nowhere, completely unpredictable, and packed with so many lines wishe I had written. Some of the poems are silly, some very deep, some are random thoughts, but all are engaging. GET THIS BOOK!
