Publisher's Synopsis
Rhythm and music serve an essential role in poetry, and the two art forms have evolved alongside each other. Poets have influenced musicians and musicians have influenced poets. This anthology brings together poems from the course of history by some of our most beloved poets as well as some of the current generation and places them along a musical tradition in a shuffle feature. Jukebox is at times sexy, comic, tender, but always alive. Among the poets included: Emily Dickinson, Amy Gerstler, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Charles Harper Webb, John Keats, Christopher Marlowe, and Kim Addonizio. Open up and you too can sing, dance, and play the Jukebox.
