Poetry. African American Studies. Quincey Troupe launches a pyrotechnic display of jazz rhythms, political commentary, sports tributes, travelogues, and architectural abstracts in his latest volume of poetry. With oracular power and the boldness of jazz improvisation, these poems by the author of AVALANCHE celebrate modern African American life without shying away from sharp critiques of social injustice.

"Quincy Troupe writes poetry for our ears, heart, and the whole body. This book is his most melodious and danceable yet."—Al Young
