Vanguards of Language: Obi Kaufmann, Saul Williams, and the Power of Poetry

This article was supported by Viva La Book Review. “Poetry has the power to drive ethics and construct shared values. It is through poetry that paradigms shift, culture transforms, and even scientific hypotheses are formed,” writes artist, author, geographer, and naturalist Obi Kaufmann in his new book, "California Inside Out." In his book, "Songs My Mother Taught Me," filmmaker, musician, poet, and author Saul Williams explores a similar conviction but in a different though equally powerful way. Williams addresses injustice, oppression, genocide, and imperialist violence far more directly than the ecologist Kaufmann, but both books are valuable manifestos that urge us to create a new world by transforming how we live and what we create.
