Product Description
Sam Cornish's new and selected poems, in the voices and with the lyrics of the blues, grow out of the historical and personal reminiscences and traditions of artists like Langston Hughes and Margaret Walker. The poems are autobiographical and biographical, expressed through such art forms as film noir, science fiction, blues, jazz and other aspects of American popular culture.

A fine choice for poetry fans looking for variety March 10, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Presenting itself as a successor to the work of Walt Whitman, "An Apron Full of Beans" is about nothing in particular, touching on a wide array of subjects and discussing them in poignant, entertaining verse sure to please. With a focus on the African American perspective, "An Apron Full of Beans" is a fine choice for poetry fans looking for variety. "Hungry": Nat Turner his blood is on the corn/His number on the leaves/Nat Turner/Slave/Composer/Man/Death/And darkness.
