description: Eyes The first full length (300 p.) spoken word memoir of the current generation of poets. Chronicles the life(style) of Taalam Acey, a full time, traveling spoken word artist...sleeping on subways and in motels... From the Greyhound bus trips through the deep south to being treated to international flights... From losing his business, his home, and all his possessions, to struggling to write well enough to regain all that he lost. The loneliness and the indiscretions, demons, and vices that came as a result. Here is all of the pain and the triumphs woven between a history and analysis of contemporary spoken word culture and the artists who have been integral to it.
