Poetry by Quincy Troupe
September 1, 2002 • 10 x 7 • 350 pages • 978-1-56689-135-6
The best and newest from one of American poetry’s coolest rhythm masters.
Much like the vibrant, riveting reading performances for which he is so well-known, Quincy Troupe’s award-winning poetry is pure rhythm and deep bass beats that barely stay on the page. This magnificent new volume captures Troupe’s voice stronger than ever as he issues celebratory and pointed statements on jazz, sports, love, art, literature, American life, and the sublimity of it all.
