| Summary: | "The sounds of late '70s and '80s East Coast avant-garde jazz, soul, and punk rock are well documented, but in Nothing but the Music Thulani Davis gives us something beyond, delivering a collection of synesthetic, transportive documentary poems that breathe anecdotal and impressionistic life into a sonic-social history about which most can only speculate. Davis's verse takes free flight with its muses, scatting and leaping off the page as well as the shoulders of the musicians, dancers, and clubs she chronicles in these poems."--Page 4 of cover. |
