Motion in Poetry + the Audio Experience Cd.

Recorded to accompany the print edition, Motion in Poetry - The Audio Xperience, is the sound of dub poetry alive and in front of an audience. Motion tells her powerful stories of identity, strength, and place, to put a voice to the face, and sounds to the words. This book charts a journey in language that is rich in contemporary African-Canadian rhythms. Invoking the spirit of Toronto's dub poet legends, Brathwaite makes a name for herself within the spoken word vernacular, while in other poems, strict, Standard English is put to the service of her unique and powerful storytelling. Motion in Poetry reads like a swaying ride through life, love, raw desire, political irony, fiery emotions about race, class and gender, touching sadness and sweet, dry humour.Brathwaite, Wendy is the author of 'Motion in Poetry + the Audio Experience Cd.', published 2003 under ISBN 9780889614390 and ISBN 0889614393.
