Poetry in Jazz: Selected Writings, 1987-2011

By Jesse Beagle

Poetry. Jesse Beagle's roots hail from Jazz, the Blues, and the Beats. There are plenty of political poems in her collection, making references to many of the oppressed people in history, from the Jews to the dead in New Orleans. "Jesse Beagle is one of the best jazz poets around. Her poetry drives. It lilts. It ranges from tales of her childhood in Oregon to political prophecy to sheer joy at life and its ongoing carnvial. Her talent for projective verse is second to no one's. This is Jesse's long-overdue first book of Poetry. One to be read, enjoyed, treasured."Dale Jensen
