Description
Poetry. African & African American Studies. A LOVE SUPREME is Professor Arturo's soaring sojourn to a vision of a newer world as experienced through the virtuosity of vivid verse and a rarity of perceptivity by a poet who has created a unique gumbo of erudition and insight. Compiled some fifty years after the late, great John Coltrane's seminal album of the same title, the collection is awash with the politics, passion, lives, loves and lusts of a seasoned spoken word veteran.
