Description

A Love SupremeA substantial volume spanning more than 30 years and eight previously published volumes of writing, Michael S. Harper's Songlines in Michaeltree: New and Collected Poems represents a much-anticipated career overview of a major modern poet. Harper, a Brooklyn native and a professor of English at Brown University, has clearly established himself through decades of consistent and widespread acclaim as a literary Titan, a prominent voice and keen observer not only of the African-American experience but of the human condition as a whole. Readers familiar with Harper's work will be pleased to see here old favorites and a generous helping of new work -- the equivalent of nearly two full books, divided into "Peace Gene" and "If You Don't Force It." For the neophyte, Songlines in Michaeltree is a terrific, thorough introduction to the poet's vision and project.The lives and art of African-American jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis serve as a principal motif in Harper's oeuvre -- particularly in his early work -- and the spirit of their music infuses the poems structurally as well. If Harper's more transpicuous efforts are comprised of hypnotic repetition (that perhaps are more successful orally than on the page), at its best, his phrasing echoes the audacious logic and formal liberties of jazz itself:       In the first wave, the musicians,       out there, alone, in the first wave;       everywhere you went, Massey Hall,       Sweden, New Rochelle, Birdland,      nameless bird, Blue Note, Carnegie,       tuxedo junction, out of nowhere,       confirmation, confirmation, confirmation:       Bird Lives! Bird Lives! and you do:       Dead --       (from "Bird Lives: Charles Parker in St. Louis")This is sometimes most apparent when his subject is something other than jazz. With the written word as his instrument, Harper (re)plays the brutal circumstances of history and intones his own personal tragedies and reflections to the rhythms of the music he loves.      This scene is about power,       Terror, producing      Love and pain and pathology;       In an army of white dust,       Blacks here to testify      and testify, and testify,      and redeem, and redeem,      in black smoke coming,       as they wave their arms,       as they wave their tongues.       (from "Song: I Want a Witness")Here Michael S. Harper's work deftly illustrates that if poetry is the literary equivalent to music -- and indeed, they share much of the same vocabulary -- free verse is its jazz.Harper's poems are overstuffed with meaning, as rich as soul food. Roughly arranged in chronological order, the poems chronicle Harper's maturation as a poet and dazzle the reader with the scope of experience and learning represented in his work. From Norway to Brazil, Vietnam to South Dakota, hardly an acre of the globe is left unexplored, hardly a struggle left unexamined or a tragedy uneulogized. With deft leaps, Harper's work promiscuously traverses history and literature. (Readers will appreciate his helpful "Notes to the Poems," a history lesson in themselves, which provide a gloss on what many of his poems are referringto.) Yet despite his diverse allusions and impressive erudition, his poems remain accessible, straightforward; Harper has not succumbed to the academic vogue of arcane, bloodless experimentation that plagues much contemporary verse. He writes about academia occasionally, but never academically. From time to time, he is even capable of whimsy. In the midst of so many pieces heavy with sorrow and importance, it is a relief to be treated to an affectionate ode to Gwendolyn Brooks enjoying sorbet -- "Triple Sorbet" -- wrought with all the sensuality with which he extols jazz (although he manages a professorial digression on the brief and lively history of the dessert). For the most part, Michael Harper has remained a political voice. Like Diego Rivera, about whom Harper writes in "Zocalo," he shows us that art is the transformation of suffering into beauty. This is not to say that he mitigates the harsh realities of injustice and oppression. On the cont...
