Reviewer’s Comments

“Mr. Fair is to be commended for this vision. The quantity and quality of the writers responding to his call for submissions is impressive. This collection of poems and prose is historic. It will be a must have book for everyone’s coffee table and library.”

*****

“It is important to know where we stand in consciousness (mind) as well as where we would like to be. Unless one conceives of Himself (in mind) as possessing good things, he will not possess them.
    It is the visioning process that allows us to become that person. Continue your creative visioning…Very good work.

William “Billy” Thomas
 Educator, Honored Mount Vernon Citizen

*****

“Mr. Fair (jAFa) in his anthology of poetry is taking us on a journey that our souls and minds have longed for. He is making a humble offering through this literary work that will awaken and inspire individuals to look within for their own poetic gifts. This artistic work follows in the rich tradition of those whose "Blood Beats in Four Square Miles."

Saleem Q. El-Amin aka Willie Sullivan
President Association of Community Based Artists of Westchester, Inc. (Ac-Baw Center for the Arts)
