Read this collection and you will need no one to convince you that
poetry is a necessity.-Keorapetse Kgositsile, South African
National Poet Laureate After a long hiatus from poetry, A.B.
Spellman, a founding member of the Black Arts Movement and a
nationally recognized jazz scholar, returns with an exuberant,
generous collection. Touching on creativity and fatherhood, racism
and workplace politics, his poems address the most important
personal and public events of the last seventy years-of how it felt
to grow up black in a segregated America, of the transformational
experience of hearing John Coltrane live, of the give-and-take of a
long marriage, and of the importance and inspiration of good
friends: if, as the yoruba say, all human beings cover their
nakedness with other human beings how does friendship accomplish
love? for i am never so bare as i am with you. *** lovers &
siblings do not have this. they have too much to defend &
defend against & we do not. we have thoughts that match &
easy laughter. we have the wisdom of the ocean & all the breeze
that calls it there A.B. Spellman spent thirty years at the
National Endowment for the Arts, serving as deputy chairman for a
decade. He has been a regular commentator on jazz for National
Public Radio and is the author of Four Jazz Lives, a classic in the
field of jazz criticism.
A group of resourceful kids start "solution-seekers.com," a website
where "cybervisitors" can get answers to questions that trouble
them. But when one questioner asks the true meaning of Christmas,
the kids seek to unravel the mystery by journeying back through the
prophecies of the Old Testament. What they find is a series of "S"
words that reveal a "spectacular story " With creative characters,
humorous dialogue and great music, The "S" Files is a children's
Christmas musical your kids will love performing.
