i was unfortunate enough to purchase this item BEFORE they added the (w/o CD) disclaimer in the title. in fact, i assumed it was (w/ CD) as most of the reviews stated, and i thought, "hey! this is a pretty darn good deal!" but i guess i shoulda known better, huh? anyway, you can't deny the genius of saul williams, but i'm just bitter about this purchase... hehe

Saul Williams is one of the most gifted poets I've ever read or listened to, and I wish he were more widely known! I strongly recommend any poetry or poetry slam lover to watch Slam, a film Williams starred in. After hearing the emotively passionate poetry read by Williams, anyone reading the poetry in She can practically hear him recite the poems while reading them. Williams's audio cd, Amethyst Rock Star, contains a few of the poems in She, allowing us to actually hear him read his poems! In his performances his accentuation of his literary devices, themes, patterns, and word play brings life to the lyrics. The cadence of the poems is so strong, however, the cd isn't necessary to fall in step with his writing just by reading it. Saul pours out lines revealing every feeling of guilt, insecurity, tenderness, or sensitivity, allowing any reader or listener the privilege to view his scars. She is Willliams's tribute to women, and though he maintains his male perspective of women, female readers may be surprized by his understanding of the fair sex.
The most beautiful poetry I've ever read

I've never liked poetry much because some of it is very hard to understand. I adored Saul Williams' movie "Slam", and I stumbled upon this book by accident and bought it. It let me explore emotions I didn't even know I had. I love to listen to the cd that comes with it. I played the cd on the long car ride home and I didn't even realize I had been crying until I got home. Not only do you have to get this book, but keep your eyes and ears open for more to come from Saul Williams.
