Beschreibung

Black Music, Black Poetry offers readers a fuller appreciation of the diversity of approaches to reading black American poetry. It does so by linking a diverse body of poetry to musical genres that range from the spirituals to contemporary jazz. The poetry of familiar figures such as Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes and less well-known poets like Harryette Mullen or the lyricist to Pharaoh Sanders, Amos Leon Thomas, are scrutinized in relation to a musical tradition contemporaneous with the lifetime of each poet.

Portrait

Gordon Thompson is Professor of English at City College of New York (CUNY), USA.
