Jam Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reading McLaughlin's poems is like listening to Janis sing. You feel this gutsy broad way down deep in your bones. She didn't just write these poems. She's lived in them and with them all her life.

As the title implies, Jam features a wealth of poems driven by a distinct music resulting from Joe-Anne McLaughlin's studies in both jazz and blues. Propelled by strong rhythms and line breaks, McLaughlin's poems present a variety of colorful characters trying to get by on the strength of "Waller's boogies / or Morton's rolls / Hot Lips' riffs / or Bessie's groans." An original and exciting voice, McLaughlin's poems are introduced by award-winning poet and essayist Stephen Dunn.
