Toronto The Good

Read Toronto The Good Storyline:

The poems in Jeff Roulston's first chapbook Toronto The Good are descriptive, dark, angry and optimistic all at once. His lyrical, spoken word- and hip-hop-influenced style represents his Toronto upbringing and his pointed poetry lays out the best and worst of his hometown.There isn't just one Toronto. It is a big diverse city that is experienced differently by every one of its nearly three million people. The poems in Jeff Roulston's first chapbook Toronto The Good truthfully capture the Toronto he knows in his direct, but lyrical style, influenced by his Toronto slanguage and lifestyle and the broader hip-hop culture many in his generation live and breathe.Follow him on Twitter @JeffRoulston, read his writing on www.JeffRoulston.com and his blog at www.TOStateOfMind.com.Cover art by Dion Fitzgerald.
