The Moments, the Minutes, the Hours: The Poetry of Jill Scott

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...1232961X&itm=1

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Writing poems and keeping journal since 1991, Jill Scott now shares her personal poetry collection in The Moments, the Minutes, the Hours. Praised for her earthy, honestly erotic, soulful and very real lyrics, Jill Scott explores all the flavors of life, love, and self.

Of her music, Jill offers: "It's music. It's experiences. It's vulnerability. It's honesty. It's being a woman--an African American woman. Being a daughter, a sister, a grandchild and a Godmother. It's life. It's deeper than what I know. It's bigger than what I can see. I guess it's a dive into the human spirit." And the same will come forth in this never- before-seen collection of her poetry

Never really been a fan of her's but my sister loves her so i think i'll get it and if i'm not feeling it i can at the very least make some one very happy with the gift, lol but i will check her out.

I got Alica Keys poetry book haven't had the time to read it all but what i did read was okay but a bit sad
