Breath of fresh Air Nov 04, 2006
By Ava Flo
"Ava"
Elliott Jackson is a breath of fresh poetic air.
This compilation of poems to me, was not only new but old at the same time. One may wonder, what does this mean? New, in the fact that I have never heard such heartfelt realism, passion, and insperation broken down in three catagories LIFE, LOVE, SPIRIT. A Cacophony of words so jumbled, and yet make so much since. Old, in the fact that these are catagories mankind has dealt with since the beginning of time. This book will make one ponder on life and the things gained or lost during the journey. Love, how it is discovered, lost, infatuated, or distroyed and kept in a persons soul like a lockbox with one key. That key, SPIRIT.
I highly recommened this book to all Gods creatures, and eagerly wait for Elliott E. Jackson's next performance. encore!!!

MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION!! Sep 15, 2006
By Ronald B. Mitchell
Each generation needs a voice and Mr. Jackson has captured and expressed ours in vivid tones. Critically acclaimed "How Could I Let Her Get Away" is proof that this offering is for us, about us and to us- those whose emotional and spiritual longings and desires have needed expression. "Cacophony" expresses the topics of love found and lost, dreams awakened and squandered. Thanks be to Elliott Eli who reminds us that we are all play a part in and are a part of this place we call the earth. If it doesn't touch a place in you, better check for a pulse.

An Artisan of Word. Dec 11, 2007
By John Tzortzis
"Consumed by Surrender"
It is a joy reading Cacophony. I've found Elliott Eli Jackson to know the nature of men, women, fathers, mothers and children. He knows the nature of true friends, lovers and acquaintances. The evidence lies in his work, taken from his life. I can tell this man knew many and gaining his wisdom from his experiences is apparent as his word flows effortlessly throughout this book which he calls Cacophony. Cacophony means jarring and discordant, yet the most jarring force of Mr. Jackson's words are far from discord. They are truly sweet euphony, bouncing me from memory to memory in sheer elegance.
His poems paint vivid scenes such as Avante Garde, a poem about a woman who sees beyond all the games men play and Dad's Chair, where the universal fantasy of pretending to be Dad lifted my imagination by jettisoning the gentle, yet playful minds of his brothers and sisters pretending to be Dad. Something truly universal. Many precious and enduring moments seeming to be suspended in time are brilliantly executed from moment to flickering moment, page after page. Mr Jackson's heart and mind are clearly connected and because of this he executes his work as a true artisan of word.
