Sinopse

To the endless questions, theoretical statements, and hypotheses about how Black poets transcribe jazz into the poetic format, this book, while providing a different approach to reading jazz poetry, attempts to answer the question, why do Black poets revert to jazz for poetic material. This book&rsquo,s answer is because jazz is Black History ritualized and performed, and jazz performance is storytelling.
