Poetic Inquiry as Social Justice and Political Response
This volume speaks to the use of poetry in critical qualitative research and practice focused on social justice. In this collection, poetry is a response, a call to action, agitation, and a frame for future social justice work. The authors engage with poetry’s potential for connectivity, political power, and evocation through methodological, theoretical, performative, and empirical work. The poet-researchers consider questions of how poetry and Poetic Inquiry can be a response to political and social events, be used as a pedagogical tool to critique inequitable social structures, and how Poetic Inquiry speaks to our local identities and politics. The authors answer the question: “What spaces can poetry create for dialogue about critical awareness, social justice, and re-visioning of social, cultural, and political worlds?” This volume adds to the growing body of Poetic Inquiry through the demonstration of poetry as political action, response, and reflective practice. We hope this collection inspires you to write and engage with political poetry to realize the power of poetry as political action, response, and reflective practice.

Poet's Market, 1991
What distinguishes this from other poetry market guides is the guiding hand of Judson Jerome, who knows poetry equally well from its aesthetic and its business ends. In addition to all the expected features, he adds a coding system for identifying the level and type of submission desired, a welcome time and ego saver.

Digitopia Blues
A lyrical analysis of the intersections between poetic speech and music, intertwined with the history of black/white relations in America. Digitopia Blues is about a pair of intertwined stories, that of black Americans struggling in music to find a language of revolutionary power, and that of literate poets wishing to transcend the printed page to embrace the body, music, and public speech. The narrative moves from the story of the blues, jazz, and rock'n'roll, to the domineering world of the printed word, and finally to the power, potential, and dangers that digital communications technologies offer people of colour. Sliding easily from the likes of Billie Holiday and John Coltrane to Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan, Digitopia Blues then leaps to a savvy analysis of today's digital scene, including the implications of hip hop, rap, Napster and rave culture for the future of cultural politics in America ...
