/“ Tongo Eisen-Martin combines the political urgency of the Black Arts 
Movement with the razor-sharp lyricism of Golden Age Hip-Hop…It’s a work 
that makes beautiful common sense and reminds us that the personal is 
indeed political”— /AKIBA SOLOMON, writer, editor

“/Tongo’s ability to speak to the nation’s most ignored people relies on 
his sharp wit and honest pedagogy. He analyzes our very core. With the 
truth of Detroit Red and the mind of Malcolm X, Tongo teaches us how to 
take back what is inherently ours.” —/ MAHOGONY L. BROWNE,, poet, 
host/curator of Nuyorican Poets’ Cafe, publisher

“/Tongogara /(title of first book) /is a love letter to revolution. With 
integrity, Eisen-Martin gives voice to those whose lives are ritually 
overlooked; skillfully leading us through stories of injustice and 
redemption, from cell block to street corner. Here is an unrelenting 
commentary, a call to arms, illuminating the work we as a society have 
left to do.” /—FELICE BELLE, poet, playwright

/“Tongo Eisen-Martin. I’m telling you, he changed me…He has that 
multi-pronged talent that equals originality: narrative, musical, 
language-lustful. He illuminates the dormant architecture of revolution 
in your chest. Awakens your burn, your joy for this thing we call 
stringing words together in the name of liberation…Mark these words: 
he’s one of our greats.” —/ TARA HARDY, poet and teacher
