HOT, HOT, HOT!

BOLD AND COLORFUL. rhythmic and musical, HARD, HARSH, chill, easy, reflective, reverent, whatever the mood's intent, every word delivers an IMPACT, an impact that can be seen, heard, felt, tasted, smelled...but its bigger than that. Hickson is taking on illiteracy among inner-city youth. he's providing a platform for self-expression across media. I definitely recommend reading Ghettoheat!

GHETTOHEAT

I just finished reading Ghettoheat and I loved it! My favorite is "Niggativity", it's hot and it has a message. I'm also fond of "BabyWoman" and the series of events she encounters. Buy the book.

GhettoHeat

GhettoHeat is the most honest, graphic and realistic piece of literature that I have read in a while. I would like to first applaude Hickson for having the courage to step forward and be heard. Second, I want to thank him for his colorful words that were so inspiring. I look forward to reading more. {YES brothers do read}.

GHETTOHEAT

I have finished reading GHETTOHEAT and found the poems to be amazing. I may not be able to fully relate to all of the poetry, but i can relate to the passion that Hickson writes with. I believe his work is the first I have read in which a man has so passionately professed his sexuality, unafraid of what the cold world might have as a response. Even though I have not had to go through the struggle of being gay and accepted, but I feel that I can still connect with how he felt when trying to find love, or something like it...

GHETTOHEAT

I just bought ghettoheat and I love it. Me being a poet myself, I like feeling like I was in the shoes of the people spoken about. Keep makin it happen.
