I listened to this while I was taking a walk today, and after a slow opening forward by his son, Johnny Cash's poetry stunned me. This short collection of poems illustrates in a very palpable way the power of poetry, for if anyone were to look at Mr. Cash and then at me, they would see no shortage of differences. But some of his poems could have been written by me. It's such a fantastic avenue to illustrate how words can unite people, no matter how different they may seem: everyone knows Johnny Cash. He's a legendary figure! And reading his poems, seeing oneself in them, drives home the wonder of verse for bringing out the similarities between people.
