Description

Much like the vibrant, riveting reading performances for which he is so well-known, Quincy Troupes award-winning poetry is pure rhythm and deep bass beats that barely stay on the page. This magnificent new volume captures Troupes voice stronger than ever as he issues celebratory and pointed statements on jazz, sports, love, art, literature, American life, and the sublimity of it all.

Winner of a Peabody and two American Book Awards, Quincy Troupe has published several books of poetry and two bestselling books about Miles Davis. He is a professor of literature and creative writing at the University of California, San Diego.
