In these three plys, she brilliantly recasts traditional forms to capture the essenses of the lives of black people: Spell #7 is a black magic and variety show; A Photograph: Lovers in Motion, a sensual melodrama of intersecting lives and loves; and Boogie Woogie Landscapes, a stream of consciousness verse play. --- from book's back cover
