Reviews
""To Repel Ghosts is vivid and sometimes eloquent because Kevin Young writes as if the meaning of his subject, the much-mythologized Jean-Michel Basquiat, is up for grabs." -- Bookforum "Ghosts tangles with a pantheon of historical and cultural figures and comes out swinging. . . . Young's use of sampled text from Basquiat's paintings and graffiti gives these poems a freshness welcomed by readers hungry for meaningful beats." -- Black Issues Book Review

Synopsis
Revamped from its original "double album" version of 350 pages into this unique "remix," To Repel Ghosts captures the dynamic work and brief life of the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. In spare, jazzlike verse Kevin Young tells the story of Basquiat's rise from the mock prophet and graffiti artist SAMO to one of the hottest painters of the 1980s ("blue-chip Basquiat / playing the bull / market"), exploring the artist's bouts with fame and heroin, mourning his untimely death, and celebrating his legacy. Along the way Young riffs on Basquiat's paintings and sayings, on the music he loved, on the artists he ran with (Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, among them), and on the black heroes (Charlie Parker, Muhammad Ali, Billie Holiday) who inspired him. Young's poetic channeling of Basquiat--a jostling, poignant brand of downtownspeak--makes for an urban epic in the tradition of Langston Hughes's "A Dream Deferred." To Repel Ghosts , along with Young's Jelly Roll: A Blues and Black Maria , his recent book of film noir verse, forms an American trilogy-- Devil's Music --that explores other art forms through poetry. In its creation, Yound has become a poet whose work speaks both for and beyond his genre, with a music all its own., The legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat created a body of work inspired by music, language, and black American cultural icons. To Repel Ghosts synchronizes the harmony and discord of Basquiat's canvases, taking the artist's history and making it sing. This celebratory homage is illustrated throughout.

Moreover, although shipping wasn’t free, it was super fast and arrived days the rest of my other packages! I have zero complaints and look forward buying from this seller again!
- l***f (852)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoFirstly, let me say that I truly appreciate the type of packaging the seller used for this book. It was sturdy and firm. If more booksellers used that type of packaging, we'd have less dog-eared and frayed softcover books. Secondly, I must give the seller a round of applause for shipping the book less than 24 hours after I bought it. A lot of booksellers wait many days before shipping their books. Overall, I'm impressed with the level of professionalism and care that this seller exuberates.
