by Nicole Y. Williams (Author)
Tangible Thoughts Vol. 1: Inner City Blues is the first installment of a collection of poems influenced by the experiences of Nicole Williams. She has catalogued in each poem an element of the environment in which she grew up. The title "Inner City Blues" was inspired by the Marvin Gaye song "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)". Upon hearing this song Nicole realized that it perfectly described the tone of her poems. The song gave voice and illustration to the words she had scripted. Inner City Blues is a gritty look at the reality of inner city life. It is testament to what goes on behind the walls and fences of projects and ghettos across America. It also gives witness to the fact that your location does not determine your latitude in life. Nicole chose to rise above her station in life and this first installment in the collection of poems for Tangible Thoughts was the ladder she used. Each poem will inspire, encourage and ignite the reader. With the God given talent of turning experience into poetry Nicole is giving everyone an opportunity to understand, the "Inner City Blues".
