Bundle B: Signed A Map of My Want, Hoodwitch, and Collectible CD
Get your signed copies of my first and second poetry books, Hoodwitch (2019) and A Map of My Want (2024)!
Included in this bundle is a free gift of signed collectible CD, "Caught in the Rhythm" featuring Benjamin Boone ft. Poets Kimiko Hahn, Faylita Hicks, Edward Hirsch, T.R. Hummer, Tyhehimba Jess, Patrick Sylvain
For a decade now, saxophonist, composer, and Fulbright scholar Benjamin Boone has artfully merged the works of vital, contemporary poets with the in-the-moment creations of astute, innovative jazz musicians, first through his two critically acclaimed recordings with U.S. poet laureate Philip Levine, and most recently with 2020's The Poets Are Gathering, providing a striking platform for the spoken word. The dance of imagery and rumination set in motion by Patrick Sylvain's "Caught in the Rhythm" supplies a running theme for this exploding kaleidoscope of diverse voices, with Ambrose Akinmusire, Greg Osby, Kenny Werner and Ben Monder being a few of the interacting musical voices, offering an aural front page of dispatches, reveries, declamations, and narratives from past and present. Leave it to music, melding with shadow and light, to make the case for poetry. That's what this album—and its varied supplications to the muse—are for.
