This right here is my favorite poet. Amir Sulaiman is so brilliant. His poetry comes from being black in the hood and being muslim. He was on Def Poetry Jam a couple times. I think what gets me is that he is so simple but the writing is so strong. His word play and imagery is beyond dope. I like to quote him randomly in conversations like "Not I love you but, not I love you if, but when love is missed, then love turns to myth, so why break your heart for myth." and "They lied when they say time flies, time floats aimlessly then time dies, a broken wing bird a slave to gravity".
