This is Craigs fourth book of poetry, which is created using the same style and "to the point" message format that has entertained many of his readers in the past. However, he has expanded his horizon and began to write about many of the issues in everyday life that we all experience. This is still done using his unique ability to blend rhyme and storytelling such that it caresses the reader eye while providing thought provoking concepts. His poems have appeared in numerous anthologies and he has won awards for a number of his poems. As mentioned in the past Craig writes from his heart and says the things that many other people feel but are not willing to say. He pushes a lot of buttons but does so in an entertaining and thought provoking manner. In this latest offering he touches on a number of "hot topics" such as "Style Over Substance" where he points out the vanity in paying to have your nails done while other more pressing problems persist. In "Tats" he explores the folly of having tattoos placed on your body, and in "Whats Up Dog?" he challenges folks to understand the negative impact of some of the words we use. Craig has also expanded his repertoire to include a lighter side by including such pieces as "Waiting in Line" where he expresses many folks fear about having to wait in long lines. His poem entitled "The Look" clearly identifies the old school feeling of being intimidated by your mothers "look" when youre doing something you shouldnt, and his signature piece entitled "Whos On the Money" is also provocative but humorous. Lastly, Craig always provides some poems that remind us of historical anomalies or just great people that have been overlooked in the past. His poem entitled "Greatest Mind of his time" is a tribute to Grandvill T. Woods the great African American inventor and self taught engineer. But he also provides us with a written picture of a recent great activist and artistic contributors such as the recently deceased Ossie Davis in the poem "Regal Spirits Are Calling". And, he continues to interject numerous quotes throughout his poetry to share insights of some of the intellectual giants that he has admired throughout the years.
