A Way to Say What's On My Mind Vol. II: A Collection of Poems & Essays Haneef Geno Talib

Geno is at it again with Vol.2. Similar to vol.1 his emotions are still raw. Vol.2 is considered "crude" because of Geno's unrefined style of expression. His poetry paints like murals on sidewalls. You can see what he's saying. The way he intertwines emotions and intellect and delivers it in a language that best resonates with his people is genius. This time around Geno has doubled the quantity of poems, enhanced the quality, and added several short essays that display his talents as an all around writer. The essays even have a poetic flow to them. They are rooted in culture and the relevance of empowering ones mindset. The flow from one section to another acts as a bridge carrying the reader's mind from poem to poem and through the essays all of which gives them insight and understanding of topics they were already familiar with, but but may not have considered or viewed through the same lens.
