    Extractions: Village Community School, New York City I. Biography Poetry is one of our culture's most beautiful and influential forms of writing. There are many famous poets living today who have contributed to this exquisite form. One of them is the African American poet named Le Roi Jones who later changed his name to Amiri Baraka. Amiri Baraka was born into a middle class family in Newark, New Jersey in 1943. In the early ages of Amiri's life, he developed an interest in writing. He soon began to keep a journal of his experiences, which was his first step into the world of writing. Amiri Baraka attended Rutgers University, but soon left to be enrolled in Howard University to receive his degree. He switched schools because he wanted to be around more people of his heritage. After college, Baraka served three years in the military as an Air Force gunner, before settling in Greenwich Village, New York. Baraka began writing seriously when he married his first wife, Hettie Cohen. With his wife, Amiri founded the influential beat literary journal called Yugen. His writing was very unique. He wrote with metaphors that compared life with his hatred against the white culture. Despite this he used gentle forms of words. Each word that he chose fit into the poem perfectly. He was recognized for his play, "Dutchman". This particular play was one of his major plays and was performed in 1964.

    Extractions: by Joey Sellers Ornette Coleman's music and his improvisatory approach are some of the most profound influences on improvised jazz music. The name of the philosophy/theory he coined in the middle of the 1970s to describe his approach was "Harmolodic."  This bibliography chronologically tracks the response of critics, musicians, scholars, and the listening public to the music of Ornette Coleman, tracing trends of acceptance or dismissal. In the process we will attempt to define the elusive, and, from its inception, ambiguous concept of "Harmolodics."  Beginning with reactions to Coleman's revolutionary engagenment of the Five Spot in New York City and continuing to the present, we will look at sources that pertain to his music and influence from a musical, historical, sociological, and cultural standpoint. In 1959, Ornette Coleman was booked for a two week engagement at the Five Spot in New York City with his quartet. This revolutionary group, which included Don Cherry on trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, offered a radical new approach to improvised music in the African American tradition. Dispensing with the traditional manner of improvising on the form and chord changes of American standard songs and the blues, the quartet forever changed the course of improvised jazz. Coleman later came to call this approach "Harmolodic Theory," a term which everyone knows, and yet there is no existence of a comprehensible definition. This annotated bibliography will determine resources which are helpful in gauging critical reaction to Coleman's music, and in defining the term "Harmolodic."

    Extractions: Jazz, a musical form that grew out of a cross-fertilization of folk blues, ragtime, and European music, particularly band music, has been called the first art form to develop in the United States of America. One of the key influences on jazz was blues, a rural folk art that changed as black musicians migrated to the cities in the late 19th century. In addition, many early jazz musicians made a living playing in small marching bands, and the instruments of these groups became the basic instruments of jazz: brass, reeds, and drums. Purportedly, the availability of war-surplus band instruments from the American Civil War aided the trend. Early jazz also frequently used the structure and beat of marches, which were the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century. Though jazz has its folk roots, it was partly created by formally-trained musicians like Lorenzo Tio. Scott Joplin, who played ragtime piano in a brothel while writing an opera, shows the different influences at work in the period. An important event in the development of jazz was the tightening of the Jim Crow (racial segregation) laws in Louisiana in the 1890s. Accomplished musicians of mixed race were no longer allowed to work with whites but were easily able to find work in black bands and orchestras, to which they applied conservatory standards. www.wikpedia.org

    Extractions: December 2002 Atlantic Monthly by R andall K ennedy sponsored by: document.write(''); E-mail Article Printer Format A mericans are already what racial purists have long feared: a people characterized by a great deal of racial admixture, or what many in the past referred to distastefully as "mongrelization." In pigmentation, width of noses, breadth of lips, texture of hair, and other telltale signs, the faces and bodies of millions of Americans bear witness to interracial sexual encounters. Some were joyful, passionate, loving affairs. Many were rapes. Others contained elements of both choice and coercion. These different kinds of interracial intimacy and sexual depredation all reached their peak in the United States during the age of slavery, and following the Civil War they decreased markedly. Since the end of the civil-rights revolution interracial dating, interracial sex, and interracial marriage have steadily increased, as has the number of children born of interracial unions. This development has prompted commentators to speak of the "creolization" or "browning" or "beiging" of America. Loving v.

    Extractions: Dear poets and students in my writing workshops- Some of the areas that are covered include: (1) To approach language as material; (2) To live a poetic life, collaborating with other poets and artists; (3) To break rules and make up new forms and constraints; (4) To write the truth, as you know it; (5) To acknowledge and consider the slippery nature of truth, language and thought; and (6) instead of attempting to reproduce reality, attempting to change it. There are approximately 115 passages, including my own text; the passages range from one short sentence to 150 words. I hope that this fragmented collection of manifestos, interviews, essays and statements on poetics will introduce you to some of the history and slanted thinking about experimental poetics and poetry, at least by those writers who have influenced my writing and thinking. Perhaps you will consider jotting down your own thoughts and quotes from other writers in the right hand margin. With humor and confusion
