1990. Introduced by Nicholas Christopher. In this recording that is part history lesson and part reading, Quincy Troupe reflects on the impact that blues and jazz has had on American poetry. He reads selections of his own poetry, from Snake-Back Solos, which received an American Book Award, Skulls Along the River, along with poems by the late Henry Dumas, and closes his reading with an excerpt from Miles: The Autobiography. "We had to communicate," he said about the poet's role during the sixties, "The poems had to communicate." Length: 63 min. |
