Poetry. Music. CD format. COLORS BORN OF SHADOW reunites poet Jack Collom and guitarist/composer Ken Bernstein (inventor of The Snake) for a new, improved CD, including everything from impassioned eco-poems to extreme playfulness. Fiddle and various percussions appear as well. Humor and formal inventiveness abound. Collom, 66 when recording, may be becoming the Professor-Longhair-meets-Walter-Huston of Spoken Word. This unabashed musical variety might be what postmodernism really is. Among the books by Jack Collom carried by SPD are WHAT A STRANGE WAY OF BEING DEAD (Rodent) and EIGHT-BALL (Dead Metaphor).
