He was a great writer who knew and wrote several styles of writing. He was nominated for multiple awards one poem he was known for was beware:do not read this poem. This poem is kind of scary it is very interesting at the same time. the poem talks about a women who disapearred in mirrors and hunted people in the house for years until the move.
This great writer Ishmael Reed whom is one of the most pre-eminent African-Amerian literature figures. Reed's work as a poetic writer has inspired me. His poem .05 which to me seems like a a boy talking about his romance life inspired me to do the same. Another great poem of Reed's is beware do not read this poem in this poem he talks about a story of a women haunting a house this is the type of poems i like to use.
