The Watchman's Opus: A Poetry Compilation

By Walter 3rd Lacy

The Watchman's Opus is the first published volume of poems from Walter T. Lacy III (also known as Soul Emcee Detroit). The book is a series of observations, reflections, inner dialogues, and prayers disguised as verse. It is a book that delves into the mud of our society and searches for truth, while finding beauty in the simplest of things. It is a work rooted in faith, inspired by Hip-Hop, and expressed with a passionate honesty that echoes the birthplace of its author (Detroit, MI). In short, it is a spoken word album that tries to contain itself within the confines of pages, while bellowing out a war cry that pleads for oppressed peoples to be free.
