Publisher's Synopsis
Expanding on contemporary oral traditions, David Aaron Greenberg coins the terms "Trap Poems" and "Lit Drawings" as representations of lyrical and figurative poetry. Greenberg's book sets the stage for a dialogue between word and form by continuing in the lineage of Jazz and Nuyorican poets of the late 20th century with a nod to surrealist and romantic traditions of poetic expression. Pushing form firmly into the musical and literary landscape, the artist's complementary drawings further illuminate the printed word.
