one really good poem. 
Most of his work isn't that memorableit can be really hard to get in to. It's painfully real Dim, disturbing, and political (in case you don't like political theatre) great story, well written missing much of the atmosphere and soundtrack if not seen live Inspiring, original storyline, captures the audience and is worth the read!
