Jazz Poems

For many, jazz is the essence of American music. It has also inspired poets and other writers to set lyrics to the melodies and to express the rhythms, energy, and emotion evoked by this singular and varied music form. This anthology draws from a range of works: from traditional to contemporary poets, from Harlem Renaissance to modern expression, and from sorrowful to celebratory.
