Reviews
Al Young:
"Quincy Troupe writes poetry for the ears, heart, and the whole body. This book is his most danceable yet."
San Diego Magazine:
"A fiery, sometimes dazzling commentary on modern life."
Bloomsbury Review:
"Euphoric and musical."
Minneapolis Star Tribune:
"The best of these poems flow with the improvisation and breakaway inspiration of jazz and the polemic energy of hip-hop."
Library Journal:
"Troupe's poems are about music, about unanticipated rhythms and surprising sounds, from bebop to hip hop, from haiku to tanka and even to the villanelle. . . . Long-range visions and social and political consciousness are woven into every page. Highly recommended."
American Poet:
"Troupe celebrates African American life without shying away from sharp critiques of social injustice in poems that contain jazz rhythms, political commentary, sports tributes, travelogues, and architectural abstracts."
Publishers Weekly:
"In all, the book's five sections 'blow out an endless supply / of edible solos,' varied and deftly sung."
