Why not Invite Marvin X to a
venue in your town? You won't be
disappointed, although you are advised to bring your seat belt and air
bag. Ishmael Reed says, "If you want motivation and inspiration, don't
spend all that money going to workshops and seminars, just go stand at
14th and Broadway, downtown Oakland and watch Marvin X at work. He's
Plato teaching on the streets of Oakland!" Bob Holman calls him the
USA's Rumi, Saadi, Hafiz. Amiri Baraka wrote, "Marvin X has always been
in the forefront of Pan African writing. Indeed, he is one of the
founders and innovators in the revolutionary school of African
writing."
