If I could use prose to explain to you the mind-blowing, brain-bending power of some of these verses, then we wouldn't need poetry. Some things can't be adequately said in straight-line sentences marching into paragraphs. Some people use movement or music (or painting or poetry) to convey the otherwise unspeakable. Jayne Cortez does that in many of the verses collected here. This is an anthology of sorts, collecting new pieces along with gems from earlier publications dating back to the 1970s. It has inspired me to be sure to go back and read all of those previous books. And again I say that I cannot, other than by sharing the poems themselves, adequately inform you about them. You'll just have to read them yourself. I suggest that you do. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Poetry. African American Studies. Jayne Cortez is the author of eleven books of poetry and performer of her poems with music on nine recordings. Her voice is celebrated for its political, surrealistic, dynamic innovations in lyricism, and visceral sound. Cortez has presented her work and ideas at universities, museums, and festivals around the world. "Cortez has been and continues to be an explorer, probing the valleys and chasms of human existence. No ravine is too perilous, no abyss too threatening for Jayne Cortez"--Maya Angelou. "If you haven't read Jayne Cortez, you're missing some of the best that life has to offer. A compellingly original voice of fire and freedom"--Franklin Rosemont. "Jayne Cortez's poems are filled with images that most of us are afraid to see"--Walter Mosley.
