Product Information
Poets who can write prose that equals their poetry are rare. With this collection of thirteen new short stories, Wanda Coleman, Los Angeles's unofficial poet laureate, proves an exception to the rule yet again. The characters in these stories lead lonely lives full of longing, of potential stifled by racism, poverty, and absurd accidents of fate. And yet, even though they are trapped by the present moment, their inner lives are lush, a mirror of the city of angels in which they live, a metropolis, "always simmering," as Coleman writes in the final story, "ever waiting to be borne on that balmy promised crescendo." Coleman applies a poet's economy of words to her fiction, setting a scene with lightning-quick strokes, letting a detail, a dialogue, or the brisk vernacular speak for itself. .

Coleman is best known for her "warrior voice." [But her] voice too can weep elegiac, summoning memories of childhood's neighborhoods - her South L.A.'s wild-frond palms, the smog-smear of pre-ecology consciousness. Her voice hits notes as desperate as Billie Holiday's tours of sorrow's more desolate stretches. But it can also land a wily punch line as solid as that of a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times a stand-up comic.--Lynell George--L.A. Times, Praise for Wanda Coleman "Every story in Jazz and Twelve O'' Clock Tales conveys a fresh verbal improvisation, an unexpected lightness, and the sure understanding of the complexity of the world. Wanda Coleman is a poet and a musician."--Maryse Condé, author of The Story of the Cannibal Woman and Who Slashed Celanire''s Throat? Wicked Enchantment: Selected Poems (2020)"Wanda Coleman was a great poet, a real in-the-flesh, flesh-eating poet who also happened to be a real black woman. Amid a life of single motherhood, multiple marriages, and multiple jobs that included waitress, medical file clerk, and screenwriter, she made poems. She denounced boredom, cowardice, the status quo. Few poets of any stripe write with as much forthrightness about poverty, about literary ambition, about depression, about our violent, fragile passions." --Terrance Hayes The Riot Inside Me: More Trial and Tremors (2005): "Coleman is best known for her ''warrior voice.'' [But her] voice too can weep elegiac, summoning memories of childhood''s neighborhoods - her South L.A.''s wild-frond palms, the smog-smear of pre-ecology consciousness. Her voice hits notes as desperate as Billie Holiday''s tours of sorrow''s more desolate stretches. But it can also land a wily punch line as solid as that of a stand-up comic."-- Los Angeles Times Mercurochrome (2001): "Wanda Coleman''s poetry stings, stains, and ultimately helps heal wounds like the old-fashioned mercurochrome of her title. No easy remedy for the lacerating American concerns of racism and gender bias, Coleman''s poetry transforms pain into empathy. . . these searing, soaring poems challenge us to repair the fractures of human difference, and feel what it is to be made whole again."--The National Book Award Poetry Judges 2001, Stanley Plumly, Chair Bathwater Wine (1998): "A poet whose angry and extravagant music, so far beyond baroque, has been making itself heard across the divide between West Coast and East, establishment and margins, slams and seminars, across the too-American rift among races and genders." --from the jury''s citation for the 1999 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize Hand Dance (1993): "Coleman''s poems are an act of liberation, meant to be experienced as something almost physical, like a punch or a whipping . . . she wants her language to express anger, to incite anger, and to shake all those who read it out of their complacency."-- The Nation b> African Sleeping Sickness (1990): "Coleman is one of the decade''s most moral poets, showing us in feverishly focused first- and third-person dramatic monologues the grim life of L.A.''s streets. It''s impossible to paraphrase her colloquial, dynamic style: where I live / the little gangsters diddy-bop through and pick up / young bitches and flirt with old ones, looking to / snatch somebody''s purse or find their way into somebody''s / snatch ''cause mama don''t want them at home and papa / is a figment and them farms them farms them farms / they call schools, and mudflapped bushy-headed entities / swoop the avenue seeking death / it''s the only thrill left / where I live Understanding does not mean, to Coleman, mild forgiveness, it means hot rage against those of any color who prey on others in pain. Contextualizing murder, rape, poverty, addiction showing us their human faces gives Coleman a ''shattered heart,'' makes her feel ''thrown heart first into this ruin,'' but the experience transforms the reader." -- Booklist War of Eyes (1988): "These are extraordinary stories, told in a powerful voice. This is the painful reality of the powerlessness that is too often shrouded in bureaucratic anonymity--a probation number, a welfare case number. Coleman, with her fine poet''s eye and strong intense language, brings to life their somber existences."-- Los Angeles Times Book Review , front page Imagoes (1983): "Hard, brilliant strokes shot through with street music . . ."-- Booklist, Coleman is best known for her "warrior voice" [but it] too can weep elegiac, summoning memories of childhood's neighborhoods ? her South L.A.'s wild-frond palms...Her voice hits notes as desperate as Billie Holiday's tours of sorrow's more desolate stretches. But it can also land a wily punch line as solid as that of a stand-up comic.
