While there have been countless books written about Detroit, none
have captured its incredible musical history like this one. This
collection of poems and lyrics covers numerous genres including
jazz, blues, doo-wop, Motown, classic rock, punk, hip-hop, and
techno. Detroit artists have forged the paths in many of these
genres, producing waves of creative energy that continue to
reverberate across the country and around the world. While
documenting and celebrating this part of Detroit’s history, this
book captures the emotions that the music inspired in its creators
and in its listeners. The range of contributors speaks to the
global impact of Detroit’s music scene - Grammy winners, Pulitzer
Prize winners, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and poet
laureates all come together in this rich and varied anthology,
including such icons as Eminem, June Jordan, Fred “Sonic”
Smith, Rita Dove, Jack White, Robbie Robertson, Paul Simon, Nikki
Giovanni, Philip Levine, Sasha Frere-Jones, Patricia Smith, Billy
Bragg, Andrei Codrescu, Toi Derricotte, and Cornelius Eady.
