I first saw Rives do his poem “Kite” on Def Poetry Jam on HBO. His works hit that string inside me with just the right resonance. Below I posted 3 of my favorite poems of his. Take a look/listen and you will see what I mean. This guys has a presence and a way with words that is incredible. (Rives Website — shoplistwindchimes.com)
