Free Speech Ain’t Free!

In Notes of a Neurotic, Summer Hill Seven provides poetry, essays and plays that are as bombastic as the writings of Amiri Baraka as piercing as Miguel Pinero and as poetic as Paul Laurence Dunbar often all in the same sentence. In addition to the entertainment and intellectual value, these Notes of a Neurotic are specifically designed to heal the emotions of the reader, the speaker and the writer of these words.

The Free Speech Ain’t Free! program is currently touring the United States with A Poet’s Pilgrimage and includes reading from Seven’s first book, Notes of a Neurotic!

The poetic essays of Summer Hill Seven are an indication of true sensitivity, pain, and the lust for life. They are the best example of mature Hip-Hop era literature that has sprouted from the United States since the blues music of Public Enemy and the insight of conscious musicians such as the Roots.

It was a journey, and Summer Hill Seven took an audience with him. The black Muslim did not chauffeur people by bus through the projects or past the park bench where he slept in Central Park, but he used his words accompanied by music to transport people to the time and place in his life that inspired him to write prose. 7 is a writer and spoken-word artist who is on a 50-state tour to college campuses advocating for the freedom of speech while promoting his book.

A Poet’s Pilgrimag is a short film about a law student who decides to leave law school after the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 to pursue his dream of becoming a poet.


The picture at the top is a picture right after we were married the first time in the famous Kizzy's restaurant in Los Angeles - named, I believe, for a character in Roots. The bottom picture is from top left (my sister Lottie, my brother John, Me, my ex-wife, my brother Tony and John's youngest daughter - Bianca). Everyone in that picture has been divorced except my niece who is still in high school. Let's hope for the best!
