About this product

Product Information

It's where Walt Whitman meets Michael Jackson. It's where Emily Dickinson meets Mary J. Blige. It's Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam, the lyrical, smart, hilarious, and searingly honest new show that has become a true phenomenon on Broadway, earning critical raves and drawing huge cheers nightly. Def Poetry Jam is an experience that's not to be missed: Nine gifted, young poets speaking from the heart about everything from love to sex, politics, and Krispy Kreme donuts. If Langston Hughes or Virginia Woolf were alive today, this is what they'd sound like. The roster includes both well-established and up-and-coming poets -- including Suheir Hammad, author of Born Palestinian, Born Black; Black Ice, a.k.a. Lamar Manson, the first spoken-word artist to be signed to Def Jam Records; Beau Sia, author of A Night Without Armor II: The Revenge, and a two-time National Poetry Slam champion; and Poetri, one of the founders of Da Poetry Lounge in Los Angeles. Essential for every fan of contemporary poetry, Russell Simmons Def Jam on Broadway...and More is a cutting-edge and constantly surprising volume that takes a fresh, exuberant, sometimes insightful, sometimes comedic look at who we are and where we are today.

Reviews
The New York TimesExuberant, powerful, and eclectic! As kinetic, exhibitionistic and pulse-racing as a dance routine by Bob Fosse. These poets seize us with rhythm and passion. They give us romance, realism, comedy and politics. That's entertainment!, Jeffrey LyonsWNBC-TVYou're in for the surprise of your life. A theatrical thunderbolt. A powerful message -- intelligent, edgy, and provocative -- that will open your eyes to a changing world., "Def Poetry Jam shows that when you present black and Hispanic kids with literature that has something to do with their lives, they'll pay attention." -- Ishmael Reed, "These poets seize us with rhythm and passion. They give us romance, realism, comedy, and politics. That's entertainment!" -- New York Times, "What a lot of people don't know is Broadway itself emerged from uptown cabaret from rent parties....You belong. Yeah, Def Jam Poetry Rap. Hip-Hop Nation. You belong." -- Nikki Giovanni, Isaac GuzmanNY Daily NewsAudacious new voices -- outrage tempered with humor, bleakness leavened with joy., Russell SimmonsThese poets grew up on rap, and they speak the language of the people...and give voice to ideas that a lot of people never hear about.
