The Moments, the Minutes, the Hours: The Poetry of Jill Scott by Jill Scott My rating: 5 of 5 stars Jill Scott is one of my favorite artists and you can certainly tell where she got her poetic singing voice from by reading her poetry. I actually met her when she did a book signing and took a picture with her. I hope she publishes a sequel. View all my reviews
