Poetry: How Does It Feel Now???

The blending of jazz and poetry has been a deep, yet off-and-on affair. Peak periods of co-mingling include the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, the Beat Generation in the 1950s, the Black Arts Movement in the '60s and '70s, and hip hop starting in the '90s.

b.1978

" data-original-title="" title="">Akua Naru takes this jazz/poetry blend intensely into the present. She has been compared to famous author Toni Morrison and has addressed topics including gender-based violence, the African diaspora and loving relationships. One of her defining pieces is the slow-burn “Poetry: How Does it Feel Now???" The lyrics declare “My, I wanna drink the sweat of your intellect; Reflect, and watch your light passion mark my neck�� This right here is poetry." While enjoying the lyrics that start at 00:36, spend time appreciating the sax-fronted ambient groove.
