Poet, Minister, Teacher, Drummer
"Greg Powell is a gifted poet who shows, in his poems, a fine command of language and rhythm. It is the language and rhythm of the Black American minister, and blues musician. In some of his poems, the poet attempts to approximates the driving intensity of the best jazz musicians. His strength is in his use of that jazz/blues idiom." Quincy Troupe
"There is an indignation and a lot of rhetoric in most of his poems, which should perhaps be recited aloud to a broad popular audience rather than read on the printed page. At times, such as in 'Sonny Rollins vs. John Coltrane,' he adopts a more traditional ballad form, inherited from Spirituals and such earlier Black poets as Dunbar." Edouard Roditi
"My heart is full as I witness this labor of love come to fruition. As I read, and experience all over again, the expressions of Greg's heart, I know God has blessed me with a man of genuinely deep and unconditional love. I see his soul through the window of his words, and the reflections of our journey." Deborah Powell
