about

The deeper goal of poetry has always been ritual. In Fred Moten’s early PennSound recordings, unbelievable, I listened in headphones for the year of 2010, the words, crawling and dripping, splashing over my brain and my heart and saturating me. David Grundy is deeply understanding of that saturation, see his writing about the woefully overlooked poetry as ritual piece of Cecil Taylor’s practice for verification.

So often the critic doesn’t allow the ‘felt’ of the poem. So often the critic is not a poet, is not in the poem, is not bodily informed by the ritual of recitation. Not only does David Grundy understand the depth of touch a poem can produce, the skin after all being the biggest organ, but he also sees/feels/hears the way that words can be profoundly incantatory.

David Grundy is the author of A Black Arts Poetry Machine: Amiri Baraka and the Umbra Poets (Bloomsbury Academic, 2019. Grundy also wrote the introduction to the recent full reprinting of The Cricket: Black Music in Evolution, 1968-69 (Blank Forms, 2022).

The uncertainty of the next moment and the perfect choice of expression, intensity and tension. This record is not only of historical value, it is the equivalent of seeing a phenomenon that has never been seen before. A fundamental thing. jiristepan
