In this new collection, Jayne Cortez finds her voice and uses it to wonderful effect. As the great musicians know, The Blues is a state of mind and in New York, Bahia, Pernambuco, Santiago de Cuba, or Guadalajara, Jayne Cortez's Blues speak of a poet who knows where she is coming from and where she is going - an exact sense of place. Jayne Cortez's pantheon - Nicolas Guillen, Babs Gonzales, Aime Cesaire, Ana Mendieta, Big Mama Thornton, Rosita Morales, Miles Davis - is a pantheon of music and struggle. In Somewhere in Advance of Nowhere, Jayne Cortez has found riffs to respond to the epic demands of her muse. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004103035
