Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. The back cover reads, "L-vis is an imagined personal, a pastiche of artists who have used and misused Black music". Kevin Coval, one of the founders of the largest annual youth poetry fest, Louder Than a Bomb, released the chapbook L-Vis lives to address the historical phenomenon of white boys appropriating black music. When I went to his book talk, Kevin discussed how Eminem, a white rapper, is a millionaire who Rolling Stone named one of the Kings of Hip-hop, meanwhile one of the ACTUAL godfathers of hip-hop, DJ Kool Herc, who also is credited with the beat break used in DJing, has a serious illness and has no health insurance. This book of poetry delves into these issues, using L-vis as an imagined persona who is grappling with his whiteness, identity, and his craft.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - FROM THE POET the Chicago Tribune calls ?the new voice of Chicago,' comes L-vis Lives!, a bold new collection of poetry and prose exploring the collision of race, art, and appropriation in American culture.L-vis is an imagined persona, a representation of artists who have used and misused Black music. Like so many others who gained fame and fortune from their sampling, L-vis is as much a sincere artist as he is a thief. In Kevin Coval's poems, L-vis' story is equal parts forgotten history, autobiography, and re-imaginings. We see shades of Elvis Presley, the Beastie Boys, and Eminem, and meet some of history's more obscure ?whiteboy' heroes and anti-heroes: legendary breakdancers, political activists, and music impresarios.A story of both artistic theft and radical invention, L-vis Lives! is a poetic novella on all of the possibilities and problems of ?post-racial' American culture?where Black art is still at times only fully accepted in a white face, and every once in a while an ?L-vis' comes along to step in to the void.i am a heroto most. the great hope>a complex back-story.>the business of my father.bland's antonym.jim crow's black sheep.>left to rise in the darkness>carded in the wildof working class, singlemother hoods. a herowho transcendswho translates the dissatisfactions of the plains;kids of kurt cobain,method man amphetamine,the odd Iowan who digs dirtand lights beyond the pig yard,spits nebraskan argot,hero to the heartland, middle brow(n) america.…
