Cover photo: ‘Jazz Shadows, ' by William Claxton. keywords: Poetey Anthology Jazz. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Since the turn of the century, there have been hundreds of poems responding to jazz in all its musical and cultural overtones. Although many people associate this union only with the poetry and jazz readings of the Beat movement, the range of poetic and jazz aesthetics, not merely from writers across the United States but from countries around the world as well, embraces an enormous, cross-cultural gathering of writers. This anthology represents many of those responses and the broad appreciation for jazz as poetic inspiration. In keeping with the jazz tradition of sharing individual sounds, it seemed important to compile a great variety of voices. As a result, you will find here a number of well-known poets, some who are not so well known, several foreign writers, and a slightly expanded select ion for those who have written extensively about jazz. Whenever possible, statements of poetics have been included to act as voices for the individual writers. Dating from the 1920s to the present, these poems cover the range of jazz itself: from early blues to free jazz and experimental music. ‘In the course of the history of jazz, there have been only a few art ides that get to the core of the meaning of jazz. These poems hit it right on the head, and the book is certainly essential for anyone who is interested in our music. '-Dizzy Gillespie. ‘Filled with a variety of form, rhythm, and sound, this anthology is an absolute MUST for anyone who is even remotely interested in jazz and modern literature. '-David N. Baker. inventory #40964.
