A young black poet blending spoken word and rap; an inner city upbringing with a Cambridge education; a social consciousness with a satirical wit and infectious rhythm George The Poet is the voice of a new generation. Search Party is a thought-provoking and deeply autobiographical collection. From the overtly political Go Home to the deeply personal Full-time; the narrative poems that offer vivid and unapologetic snapshots of inner-city life, such as His Mistakes, Believer and the anthemic My City; to the provocative social commentary in Lazy Dog and YOLO; to the inspiring, idea-driven pieces such as The Power of Collaboration and School Blues, George takes poetry into new territories and to new audiences, offering a different way to talk about the things that matter, to explore his own experience and ideas, and encourage others explore theirs. George The Poets mesmerising and unforgettable live performances have earned him critical acclaim. From sell-out headline gigs and You Tube hits, to recording his own music, and now his first collection of poetry, George uses his work to speak truth to power and challenge our preconceived ideas about the society were living in.
