An important body of work constructed with an authentic slam poetry pulse. Jah Liv, author and 2006 Pittsburgh Slam Poetry Team member, bares his soul stretching the boundaries with his original critically acclaimed style. Weaved throughout is a thought provoking collection of illustrations entitled, "The House That Z Built", sketched parables of social commentary. Once again the multi-talented young artist, who hails from Cleveland, Ohio, reaches from beyond the belly of the beast to remove our blinders and reveal the unseen obvious. Z-1 creates the genuine landscape for the tales of pain, joy, gods, guns, politics, problems, fear and fatherhood, heartache and hope.
