Listen Up!: Spoken Word Poetry - Brossura

"These poets protect the softer, more mindful core of nerves--the synapses that compute the flow of electricity between poem and poetry audience--adding to the whole story we adore as verse."
--MIGUEL ALGARíN
   Founder and Director
   The Nuyorican Poets Café

"Listening to the new poets, will we ever be the same? This anthology has a stake in freedom, is a proclamation for poetics. Zoë Anglesey is a literary abolitionist--she breaks through the barriers that separate us from the new poetry."
--E. ETHELBERT MILLER
   Director,
   African American Resource Center,
   Howard University
