To those interested in the impact of jazz upon the poetry of our century I recommend this anthology altogether without reservation." —John Lucas, JazzTimes
... essential... Its virtues are varied and copious, and not the least among them is discovering a writer whose work is new to you." —Los Angeles Reader

Filled with a variety of form, rhythm, and sound, this anthology is an absolute MUST for anyone who is even remotely interested in jazz and modern literature." —David Baker
Since the turn of the century, poets have responded to jazz in all its musical and cultural overtones. The poems here cover the range of jazz itself: from early blues to free jazz and experimental music. Among the 132 poets included are James Baldwin, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Langston Hughes, Jack Kerouac, Mina Loy, Ishmael Reed, and Sonia Sanchez. This anthology represents the broad appreciation for jazz as poetic inspiration, not only from the Beat movement but from writers across the decades and around the world.
