Words In Grey

Genesis the Greykid

Beschreibung

Russell McGee Jr ( a.k.a Genesis the Greykid ) has published a color-fresh book of poetry titled "Words in Grey", realizing his ability to connect a diverse array of people -- from top-tier business mavens to homeless vets. Because Genesis has never met a stranger, and befriends individuals from all walks of life, he has an uncanny ability to learn their stories. As a poet, recording artist, and creative consultant, Genesis has made Chattanooga, Tennessee his new home. Serving as Poet/Artist of the Manhattan based media label Creative Control TV, Genesis has moved back to his southern roots where he has found a new voice in the community, running creative workshops out of various studio spaces. Greykid's poetry reflects the lyrical touch of an E.E. Cummings, rich in observation and whimsy. And like Shel Silverstein, he uses color as a template through which he views a day or a choice encounter. His tone is straightforward and conversational, but one is left thinking "I wish I had said that." Words in Grey is a book that guides the reader to observe -- and speak with Genesis' sense of color and insight. Words in Grey is easy to pick up, and hard to put down. Not only does it include 77 of Genesis' original works, it also includes several pages of writing exercises for his readers so that they, too, will be encouraged to engage in their own creative reflections.

Autor

Russell McGee Jr (better known as Genesis the Greykid) is an artist, creative, activist, philosopher, and poet. While signed to the media label Creative Control Tv, Genesis released several musical offerings, (mix-tapes, poetry, and collaborative projects) while splitting his time between New York, Virginia, and Tennessee. He later came back to his birth city (Chattanooga, Tn) to help draw attention to the many politically and socially conscious artist, creatives, and poets. He soon developed a poetic / creative workshop people in the community started calling *Words In Grey*. In these workshops, Genesis would get artist to think differently about the creative self, their writing, and collectively explore the pathway to that "hidden wholeness" inside of us, through creative sessions and poetry. His first book, "Words In Grey" is a collection of his poetry, with exercises in the back of the book so the reader can venture off into their own brilliance.
