INQUIRE WITHIN

In-Q shares his poetry with listeners in a powerfully engaging, intimate style. In the poem titled "Inquire Within," his uplifting voice brings tears when he reveals how he decided to look within to find God--and succeeded. "85" is a joyous recounting of an elderly couple who still love the song "Staying Alive" and are alive because of love. In "Citizens United," In-Q's fury erupts, and word choices enhance his impact; for example, he says, "Citizens United is not a person and has no soul/The stock market is God, and it preys on the weak." "The Wrong Side of History" is equally caustic as In-Q spews horrific facts about firearms, adding that water bottles are not allowed on planes, while people can carry guns everywhere. This is a masterful but not always a comfortable listen. S.G.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2021 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2021]
