商品簡介
In the movie lovejones, in Vibe magazine, and in music by rapper D Knowledge, the love poems of Sonia Sanchez have put into words the passions of a generation.
Like the Singing Coming off the Drums offers a collection of dazzling new love poems from Sonia Sanchez. In haiku, tanka, and sensual blues, Sanchez writes as no one else can of the many forms love takes: burning, dreamy, dis appointed, and vulnerable. In three sections —"Naked in the Streets," "Shake Loose My Skin," and "In This Wet Season" —she takes us from the most intimate landscapes of passion to its public celebration in love poems dedicated to icons of our age, including Tupac Shakur and Ella Fitzgerald.
