He may be best known as an anti-sexist sociologist, following in the footsteps of W.E.B. Du Bois, but Hernton viewed himself, above all, as a poet.

Hernton papers at Ohio University, a new critical introduction, and detailed notes, chronology, and bibliography. inventory #47873.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Classic and new work by poet and jazz writer A. B. Spellman/>/>A. B. Spellman is an acclaimed American poet, music critic, and arts administrator. He is widely recognized as a leading figure in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, a cultural and literary movement that emphasized Black identity, pride, and artistic expression. Between the Night and Its Music brings together A. B. Spellman's early work with a collection of powerful new poems. Spellman's literary career took flight in 1965 with his debut poetry collection, The Beautiful Days, which introduced his distinctive voice blending elements of jazz, blues, and African oral traditions. In 1966, Four Lives in the Bebop Business established Spellman as a respected music critic and scholar. It was a groundbreaking work that chronicled the lives and struggles of four influential jazz musicians. Spellman held senior positions at the National Endowment for the Arts for thirty years with lasting impact on arts funding for inner cities and rural and tribal communities. In addition to poems from The Beautiful Days (1965) and Things I Must Have Known (2008), this book contains a trove of new and uncollected poems, confirming Spellman's continued centrality to contemporary American literature. This is an essential volume for readers already familiar with Spellman, and an excellent introduction for new readers. Lauri Scheyer's introduction situates Spellman's work within jazz writing, Black Arts, and American poetry broadly./>/>[sample text]/>/>THE TWIST/>/>a dancer's world/>is walls, movement/>confined: music/>/>god's last breath./>rhythm: the last beating/>of his heart. a dancer/>/>follows that sound, blind/>to its source, toward walls/>with others. she cannot dance alone/>/>she thinks of thought/>as windows, as ice around the dance/>can you break it? move "A comprehensive collection of the poetry of A.
