Block: a Slurp, Gulp and Start on Sounds joint

By Chris Lorensson

From the dark echoes of skate parks, back alleys and derelict lots comes a young voice rising against the straightjacket of conformity. BLOCK gathers poems written in the pulse of the 1990s and early 2000s-where hip-hop meets punk rock, faith clashes with doubt, and creativity smashes its shape fromconcrete. Eighty raw poems of survival and roasting the establishment: snapshots of youth caught between rebellion and reflection, belonging and exile, rhythm and rhyme. They chronicle the definition of self in a world that offers little more than mainstream labels. Part memoir, part manifesto, this collection invites readers into the turbulence of identity and the forging of a voice-an invitation to give the struggle its flowers and recognize the streets are never satisfied with anything less than blood.
