vls/2603nrwcece.visuallibrary.netvdAmerican songbookRuby, MichaelasntextbookBrooklynUgly Duckling Presse2013monographiceng139 S."Poetry. The poems in AMERICAN SONGBOOK are based on phrases from more than fifty 20th century songs. The singers range from Memphis Minnie to Tupac Shakur, and songs from Louis Armstrong's hit "What a Wonderful World" to Hattie Ellis's "Desert Blues," a little-known Lomax prison recording. Many musical traditions inform the poems, including blues, jazz, gospel, country, folk, bluegrass, electric blues, R&B, rock, disco and hip hop."In their careful reading of real and imaginary signs these poems bring peripheral and liminal perception into focus. At the intersection of form and voice--of how something can be said and what meaning might intend--Michael Ruby folds everyday utterance into astonishing fact. These plaintive and destabilized voicings offer the necessary means to discover what is immediately before us."--Peter Gizzi"--Michael RubyHBZHT0182051209781937027001HT0182051206101angm805.r8972014032020140512131739601 https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D131739601+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/491355 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/491355/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/491355
