Reviews
These resonant poems bob and weave in graceful, dedicated rhythms of black public life and dark communal wisdom, to execute the most remarkable ballet of the inner passions, lyrical evocations of natural and peopled worlds where the soul eternally discovers wonder, desire, elegant beauty and love. This is a rare gift from a man of generosity and genius., The poems in Bobweaving Detroit, grounded in the city that Murray Jackson knew so well and clearly loved so much, move almost effortlessly from the urban particulars of one man's life, expressed with tenderness, humility, honesty, and intelligence, to the some of the deepest questions we can pose about living and loving, struggling and enduring, prevailing and transcending. I find it impossible to read this book and not be moved both by the nobility of spirit the poems express and also the quiet and yet considerable literary skill behind their composition.

Synopsis
This is the final collection of poems from Murray Jackson. A highly respected educator, political figure and philanthropist, Jackson offers work rich in the history and hope of Detroit's Black urban - and urbane - tradition., From a poet whose vision and vistas embrace Detroit's glass-strewn streets and soaring high-rises, this collection is universal yet site-specific in its evocation of jazz and its improvisations on the classics. Bobweaving Detroit is Murray Jackson's final collection of poems. Dr. Jackson, a highly respected educator, political figure and philanthropist, as well as an internationally known poet, offers work rich in the history and hope of Detroit's Black urban--and urbane--tradition. Jackson was a Classicist as well as an athlete, an inspiring teacher and an inspired humanist whose poems engage the blues vernacular, a wide palate of visual arts, and a broad spectrum of musical sources. Murray Jackson was always a poet, though he first published with Broadside Press, Detroit's and the nation's longest continuously publishing Black poetry press, after a long career of public service during which he opened Detroit's first community college and many other educational and artistic venues to his fellow citizens and scholars. Readers of poetry and lovers of the arts, humanities, and athletics can recognize and join Jackson's conversations--his "bobweaving"-- with Langston Hughes, Julius Caesar, Mozart, Duke Ellington, Archie Moore and Marianne Moore, William Shakespeare and Willie the Pimp, Coleman Hawkins and Coleman Young, Malcolm X and Malcolm Boyd., Bobweaving Detroit is Murray Jackson's final collection of poems.
