Spanning thirty years and drawn from literary and scholarly journals and other media, these interviews offer insights into his poetic innovation of blues and jazz and his mastery of black vernacular in poetry. This collection seems fundamental to an understanding of the life and work of an African American poet who has been innovative in fusing blues and jazz rhythms with poetic insight and in vivifying the vernacular landscape of African American poetry. Born in 1940 in Clinton, Mississippi, Plumpp has been living in Chicago since 1962. Home/Bass received the 2014 American Book Award. The finest blues poet of his generation, Plumpp became a model for contemporary poetry and poetics and a leading figure in the tradition of blues/jazz poetry. He continues to reinvent the language while exploring the registers of individual and communal memory, local, national, and global history. His poetry is important in attempts to define the black aesthetic from the era of the Harlem Renaissance to the seminal Black Arts Movement. It is also important for its re-articulation of the Great Migration, especially expressed by blues musicians who left Mississippi for Chicago"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Plumpp, Sterling, $d 1940- $v Interviews. 650 0 $a African American poets $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100749 650 0 $a Jazz in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94005595 650 0 $a Blues (Music) in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94000702 650 0 $a American poetry $x African American authors. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85004389 650 0 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100205 650 0 $a African Americans. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001932 650 0 $a Black English. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85014552 650 0 $a Language and culture $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008106641 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x Poetry. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY COLLECTIONS $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026481 700 1 $a Zheng, Jianqing, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2008001673 776 08 $i Online version: $t Conversations with Sterling Plumpp. $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2016 $z 9781496807434 $w (DLC) 2016000207 830 0 $a Literary conversations series. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84745666 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CED7E814EA0B11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
