ZURI: Selected Love Songs

ZURI: Selected Love Songs

Van G. Garrett
4.6/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
ZURI: Love Songs is artist and writer Van G. Garrett’s most personal and risk-taking collection of poems to date. The introspective poems that chronicle Garrett’s travels around the world, his celebrity friendships, his musical influences, and his love interests, are sincere and thoughtful. A continuum of his debut collection Songs in Blue Negritude, ZURI offers profound insight into a complex poet with the precise voice that award-winning author A. Van Jordan penned: Will save poetry from extinction.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Van G. Garrett appreciates boxing, bull fighting, photographing hummingbirds in Tuscany, and the trumpeted sounds of Miles Davis. A watch aficionado, Van has photographed President Nelson Mandela, partied on a beach with a queen and royalty, played drums on stages with Grammy Award nominees, and climbed the highest mountain in Ghana.

REVIEWS

"Van G. Garrett’s Zuri is all shades of gray and nuance, all reminiscence and longing. These lines sing with the confidence of a man approaching a lover at midnight. Call it a soundtrack: music and memory driving the revelations that unfold from line to line. This slender book engages the reader. These poems take you somewhere you didn’t realize you needed and wanted to go."

—R Dwayne Betts, author of A QUESTION OF FREEDOM: A MEMOIR OF LEARNING, SURVIVAL, AND COMING OF AGE IN PRISON, the 2010 NAACP Image Award Winner for Literary Debut
