Black Music, Black Poetry offers readers a fuller appreciation of the diversity of
approaches to reading black American poetry. It does so by linking a diverse body
of poetry to musical genres that range from the spirituals to contemporary jazz. The
poetry of familiar figures such as Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes and less
well-known poets like Harryette Mullen or the lyricist to Pharaoh Sanders, Amos Leon
Thomas, is scrutinized in relation to a musical tradition contemporaneous with the
lifetime of each poet. Black music is considered the strongest representation of black
American communal consciousness; and black poetry, by drawing upon such a musical
legacy, lays claim to a powerful and enduring black aesthetic. The contributors to
this volume take on issues of black cultural authenticity, of musical imitation, and
of poetic performance as displayed in the work of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes,
Sterling Brown, Amiri Baraka, Michael Harper, Nathaniel Mackey, Jayne Cortez, Harryette
Mullen, and Amos Leon Thomas. Taken together, these essays offer a rich examination
of the breath of black poetry and the ties it has to the rhythms and forms of black
music and the influence of black music on black poetic practice
