Up Jump the Boogie by John Murillo
Poetry. African American Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. Up jumps the boogie. That's almost all one needs to say. Murillo is headbreakingly brilliant. I didn't have a favorite poet for this year: Now I do. But with this kind of verve and intelligence and ferocity Murillo just might be a favorite for many years to come.--Junot D azThe feel of now lives in John Murillo's UP JUMP THE BOGIE, but it's tempered by bows to the tradition of soulful music and oral poetry. The lived dimensions embodied in this collection say that here's an earned street knowledge and a measured intellectual inquiry that dare to live side by side, in one unique voice. The pages of UP JUMP THE BOGIE breathe and sing; the tributes and cultural nods are heartfelt, and in these honest poems no one gets off the hook.--Yusef Komunyakaa
