The first anthology from FreezeRay Press, AGAIN I WAIT FOR THIS TO PULL APART, is based on the theme of musicians in popular culture, ranging from Patsy Cline to Justin Bieber, with plenty of ground covered in-between. When it came time to find an editor who could do this concept justice, it made all the sense to ask Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib, who has made a name for himself by sharing his love of music in poems like "Ode To Biggie" and "At The House Party Where We Found Out Whitney Houston Was Dead".
Again I Wait For This To Pull Apart: A Poetry Mixtape Reviews
-
Excellent collection of poetry based around music - right up my alley...
I loved the poems by Melissa Newman-Evans, Lewis Mundt, and Ellyn Touchette in particular. I thought the top five albums in lieu of contributor's notes was a really nice touch as well.
A few editing mishaps (incorrectly spelled words, etc...) bug me (I know, I know...), but all in all it is a really good collection from a new press and I am looking forward to whatever else they have coming up.
