For those unfamiliar with Komunyakaa, this volume offers a rich sampling of his postmillennial work. For his fans, it further enforces his reputation as an important and necessary American poet.
Though ambitious in scope, Komunyakaa's globe- and time-traveling lyrics are disarmingly subtle and soft-spoken, intimate and candid, repaying multiple readings.
Uniquely tuned to the emotional physicality of jazz, Komunyakaa understands the inherent poetry of sound ("high heels at daybreak/ is the saddest refrain"), presenting a rich reading and listening experience for poetry fans and jazz enthusiasts alike.
