"There is a new voice in the contemporary urban poetry movement...Songs In Search Of A Voice is a melodic addition to the sound begun by the masters such as Langston Hughes...the legacy continues with Harris...he has made his life’s lessons available to us through his work: it is his gift to his readers, one that resonates through out his poetry...it is a gift that should be accepted, appreciated and celebrated."
Barb Radmore, Once Written
Originally released in March 2006, Songs In Search Of A Voice has sold over 15,000 copies worldwide, securing its place as an instant classic in the annals of literary lore. Winner of numerous awards, as well as high accolades from the likes of Nikki Giovanni, Mari Evans, and Amiri Baraka, Marcus Harris's debut collection of poetry continues to win hearts and minds across the globe.
Songs In Search Of A Voice is available everywhere books are sold.

Dead Poet would like to present a new song titled “Losing to Win” feat. “Q” that will be on the groups upcoming EP “In Loving Memory”. The track is broken into three distinctive perspectives over a consistent topic in which one is from a story perspective, one from third person, and another from personal experience. Sacrificing and going the extra mile to the top is what the title stands for. The chorus is voiced by female vocalist “Q” and musical production is by way of producer The 17th Dimension. Listen to it, let it melt in and then play it again if you feel the need. Also feel free to drop any comments, feedback, constructive criticism or anything you feel. The finalized EP will be coming soon and we would like to once again thank everyone for the support. Check back soon for news and updates.
It’s been two years in the making and she finally arrived on August 30, 2008! Her name is, "The Journey Less Traveled: Choose to Turn Your Tragedy into Triumph." I am the PROUD mother of this Work of Art!

Dead Poet is back with “Now or Never” which is the first in a wave of new tracks that we will be putting out over the next few months. “Now or Never” starts out with a street corner beat box freestyle where Smooth Element gives an introductory to the status of society and how we with all of our supporters are continuing to build upon a solid foundation. The chorus of the track is voiced by both Jay and War with a megaphone to give listeners the feeling, image ,and emphasis of trying to voice ourselves across a large body of people. The verses by both Jay and War cover a large array of issues and topics in an aggressive rebellious manner to display how they feel about the current state that we are in. The beat is by way of the 17th Dimension of Dead Poet with additional production from the rest of the Dead Poet crew. Come by the page to listen for yourself and please feel free to provide us with any constructive and critical feedback.

This is what reviewers are saying about Marcus Harris... "Harris possesses the uncanny ability of transforming pain into love and love into blissful joy. These poems are real world meets a magical verbal liturgist. Not many poets can provoke such emotion, embrace critical issues and impart wisdom to all that will listen. Pay attention to a master poet that promises to leave his imprint in the industry." Deltareviewer
