Firespitter - Jayne Cortez

A Long-awaited, Comprehensive Collection Of Renowned Poet And Performance Artist Jayne Cortez's Poetry.like The Jazz Rhythms That Inspired And Punctuated Her Practice, Jayne Cortez Improvised Her Way Through And Across Disciplines, Bridging Poetry And Performance With Music And The Visual Arts To Create A Unique Body Of Work. Consciously Rupturing The Boundaries Between Art And Politics, Cortezs Practice Uneasily Fits Within Literary Movements Of The 20th Century, Residing Everywhere And Nowhere Between The Black Arts Movement, Surrealism, Feminism, And Early Performance Art. As Intersectional As It Is Interdisciplinary, Her Work Is Consistently Visceral And Fearless, Acting As A Powerful Expression Of Collective Rage On Behalf Of The Disenfranchised And Dispossessed.
