Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I bought my first copy of "Aloud," it was 1994. Four years later I have given numerous copies away of this anthology that brings American poetry audiences home. This home is one filled with anger, laughter, skepticism, worry, joy, love, dreaming and observation built with the tools of post-modern exploration. "Aloud" is where poets and readers begin to understand the 1990's.
As a lover of poetry, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe takes readers on a ride to life as it is, not as it was in the traditional poetry we grew up reading in school. This is a significant reason why I use this anthology to teach my college students that poetry DOES speak to you, IS about you and IS written by people like you. Poetry has a glorious tradition and the 'now' poetry of "Aloud" demands a place in that tradition.
If you truly love poetry, you will truly become a lover of this text. My only disappointment is that there isn't another anthology from this haven of rhythm and soul. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel.
