With Kinds of Blue, Sean Murphy has created a deep personal and spiritual meditation on the personalities, stories, and souls that created some of the most important music (plus comedy, film and more) of the 20th century. More than a book ''about'' these other art forms, Kinds of Blue gives voice to ineffable and transcendent qualities of the art using the medium of poetry. -Jon Madof, bandleader, composer, and co-founder of Chant Records "It''s not worth singing about if it doesn''t leave a scar," the speaker in Sean Murphy''s Kinds of Blue says-and these poems are about song and scar, even as they sing and heal along the hurt-lines. Murphy muses about what drives us to art, what hinders art''s making, what sacrifices art demands, what makes art, and the artist, endure. "It never hurts if you write an anthem," the speaker says, though the book is filled with artists who hurt, even to the point of self-harm and death. The poems here confront an "America waking up/ slowly, from the old school/ slumber of the whitest world," and comes to a reckoning: "again it was down to artists/ to guide us through." Kinds of Blue is a wise, startling, beautiful guide. -James Allen Hall, author of Romantic Comedy A transformative journey that not only unveils new dimensions to familiar tunes but beckons you to venture into uncharted musical realms. -Nabil Ayers, author of My Life in the Sunshine Late in Kinds of Blue, his third poetry book, Sean Murphy asks: "What is this? How is it possible to make instruments scream in agony and shriek in joy, at the same time?" Yet, these powerful poems do just that with lines crafted from the alchemical tip of his historical pen. Conjuring legendary artists such as Miles Davis and Sam Cooke, as well as lesser-known geniuses, Eric Dolphy and Linton Kwesi Johnson, this collection offers the reader necessary pages from our troubled past "so [we] might bear witness to an anguished joyful noise that could save and restore." Dear Reader, this book is full of poems you will want to research and then read out loud again, while you "trust that hearing is believing." As poetry continually reminds us, we need our collective notes to more fully understand ourselves, our country, our predecessors, in all the potent ways. "Even still they sang-coded texts for torn out tongues, the savage air aglow with conviction." I''ve read these poems again and again, then pulled my old albums out; here where poetry and music become one. -Susan Rich, author of Blue Atlas
