"Ostinato Vamps is Wanda Coleman's first book of poetry since the
demise of her longtime publisher, Black Sparrow Press. In continues
and enlarges the traits that have been her hallmark for more than
three decades: a fierce adherence to the truth and a language so
musical one can almost hear the blues line underneath her stanzas.
Linguistically daring, lyrically breathtaking, stylistically bold,
these poems both explore familiar territory and shatter
stereotypes. Life is difficult, often unfair, but it belongs to the
living, as Coleman reminds us in no uncertain terms. Racing between
an earthy eroticism and fatalistic despair, filled with humor and
tragedy, these poems are alive. They breathe. They challenge us
even as they reward us for seeking the truth.
