New and selected poems from the Pulitzer Prize-winning poetThese songs run along dirt roads& highways, crisscross lonely seas& scale mountains, traverse skies& underworlds of neon honkytonk,Wherever blues dare to travel.Everyday Mojo Songs of Earth brings together selected poems from the past twenty years of Yusef Komunyakaa's work, as well as new poems from the Pulitzer Prize winner. Komunyakaa's masterful, concise verse conjures arresting images of peace and war, the natural power of the earth and of love, his childhood in the American South and his service in Vietnam, the ugly violence of racism in America, and the meaning of power and morality.The new poems in this collection add a new refrain to the jazz-inflected rhythms of one of our most significant and individual voices (David Wojahn, Poetry). Komunyakaa writes of a young man fashioning a slingshot, workers who honor the Earth by opening shine / inside the soil, and the sounds of a saxophone filling a dim lounge in New Jersey. As April Bernard wrote in The New York Times Book Review, He refuses to be trivial; and he even dares beauty.
