I love this book!!! I’m so impressed with the sharp rhymes, depth, and wit. It’s extraordinary poetry fused with hip hop sensibility and trenchancy. A remarkable and TIMELY book. Highest recommendation!!! - TeeSpell
Thank you for reminding me how profound and relevant poetry can be to daily life. These short percussive rhymes are going to echo around my head. My ESL students will enjoy them and the resulting discussion should prove interesting. - A grateful reader and teacher
20/20 Division is a must read....The sheer depth and subtle, but slick play on words is amazing. Poetry at its most raw and edgy with a hip hop flow. Words? Lyrics? You be the judge. This book will speak to your soul as it opens your eyes and your mind to what so many people are feeling. This book may help you understand what you have been feeling that you couldn’t put to words. Read this book and just let it happen...let the healing begin.

The best money I have spent on a book in a while! As a lover of hip hop, I particularly enjoy the cadence of your poetry and find myself envisioning it being delivered in spoken word. Your words are powerful and reading them have inspired me to get back to writing regularly.
Thank you for sharing your book with the world. - Sean Murphy
20/20 Division uses a rap lyric style and provides a variety of personal lenses to look at issues such as BLM, police brutality, white privilege, profiling, and reparations, but also at more private issues, including love and spirituality. For me, reflection on the collection as a whole is where the power of Johnson's work lies. But then again, the poetry begs you to go back and re-read over and over the individual poems that speak loudest to you. And there will be poems that speak loudly to you. - Chris
Highly recommend!! Wallace Johnson delivers powerful poetry in this must read! It'll open your eyes! - Double 0
Wallace Johnson's book is both thought provoking and timely. A great read from cover to cover. Is it a book of poems or a collection of song lyrics? I'm still not sure, but it doesn't matter. It reads both ways and it's great. It's sometimes shocking and brutally honest. If you are an information seeker like me and you are looking for a book that will open your mind and make you think hard about race issues, I recommend this book highly. - Leslie R. Del Sesto
Wallace's voice shines through his poetry and brings the reader along his journey. It asks the reader to have empathy and compassion. It enables the reader to see life through the eyes of a black man and understand his struggles. - Mackenzi B.
I'm not really a poetry person. But, at the recommendation of a friend, I picked up a copy of 20/20 Division. I'm glad I took the recommendation. It's obvious the author poured his heart and soul into the work. Each piece stands on its own as strong, poignant statement on race in our country. Together, they weave a story that is both sad and full of hope - but always moving and enjoyable. I'd recommend this book to anyone. From the person who is working to understand and be an ally, to the person who has experienced racism and is looking for a kindred spirit, to the person who just appreciates good writing, I think all will enjoy the trip through 20/20 Division. - Jeremy
Highly recommend for anyone seeking to expand perspective. It made me think, and then reread, and think again. Good for the soul. A very timely collection. - Kristin
This book of poetry is insightful, deep and thought provoking. Truly a must read! Even though the writing style flows effortlessly, I found myself pondering the poems deeper meanings and implications and revisiting them to find something I hadn't noticed before. I would highly recommend. - Kerrin Abromowitz
A great read. Quite in depth straight from the author's soul. Spoken word to the truth!! - KLB
Johnson’s timely book puts into words what is going on in the world today. It’s poetry with a lyrical vibe. It’s an eye-opening perspective of a highly educated black man with law enforcement background. It’s the insight needed to understand what is happening in the world today because you see yourself or someone you love in his words. It’s fresh. It’s honest. It’s a must read. Read it. Pass it on. Buy it for a friend. - HS
Excellent insight and take on today's topics. - Dee
