Description
Can I Kick It? by Idris Goodwin is a unique blend of poetry and pop culture that explores the stories we tell ourselves and each other. Combining elements of hip-hop and BreakBeat Poetry, Goodwin samples and re-purposes popular references to reflect on identity, community and life.
The result is a collection that is both irreverent and incisive, with a tongue-in-cheek tone that belies its thoughtful exploration of the human experience. With references ranging from iconic figures like Prince and Dominique Wilkins to nostalgic nods to Back to the Future, this poetry is as much about the present moment as it is about the past.
