angry or frustrated poems of a prose nature. with love of music and a desire for change. preachy at times, and i tend to enjoy poetry with richer imagery, but no doubt a glimpse into a life and experience i wouldn’t have otherwise

Though it seems - through the clear descriptions of his childhood- that Eady could easily slip dangerously into a voice of hatred and negativity, his works remain positive and bright. Honest words regarding racism, violence, & the unavoidable issue of class subjugation characterize a man keen observation. I enjoyed Eady's approach to problems most people would prefer to ignore.
