Abiyah's poem "Fatherless Townships" is included (on page 144) in this critically-acclaimed anthology which is part of the Def Poetry Jam multimedia attack. Containing a foreword by Sonia Sanchez, as well as poetry from poets of the Black Arts Movement (Raymond Patterson, Kalamu Ya Salaam, June Jordan, Amiri Baraka) to today's Hip-Hop poets (Jessica Care Moore, Bruce George, Mike Ladd, Rha Goddess) and everyone in-between, this anthology is a must-have for all poetry lovers' shelves. Publishers Weekly states that this anthology is "an ideal textbook for introductory poetry classes, especially for urban high school students, and for anyone interested in poetry as a social art."
