Summary:  "With ambitious manipulations of poetic forms, Tyehimba Jess presents the sweat and story behind America's blues, worksongs and church hymns. Part fact, part fiction, Tyehimba Jess's much anticipated second book weaves sonnet, song, and narrative to examine the lives of mostly unrecorded African American performers directly before and after the Civil War up to World War I. Olio is an effort to understand how they met, resisted, complicated, co-opted, and sometimes defeated attempts to minstrelize them. "So, while I lead this choir, I still find that I'm being led... I'm a missionary mending my faith in the midst of this flock... I toil in their fields of praise. When folks see these freedmen stand and sing, they hear their God speak in tongues. These nine dark mouths sing shelter; they echo a hymn's haven from slavery's weather." Detroit native Tyehimba Jess is an Associate Professor of English at CUNY College of Staten Island. He is the author of He is the author of Leadbelly (published in 2005)"--Provided by publisher. Awards:  Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 2017. Genre:  American poetry.
