A window into the mind and soul of a hip young poet who is intent on searching for the truth in everything', this collection of poetry follows in the rich, rhythmic tradition of its forbears, covering a wide range of themes including identity, relationships and family, and revealing a young poet with intense sensibilities to the multiplicity of human possibilities. Painting pictures and emotions with words, Like Water Running Off My Back confronts contemporary issues with a profound lyricism and offers the world the voice of a hot new consciousness.'
