This collection has the energy that tells you Keith Jarrett is a spoken word poet without reading that on the blurb on the back cover.
It is a slim volume, less than 60 pages with generous white space around the text, and yet the topics it manages to embrace are so wide reaching – it really feels that all human life is here.
I put a tag in Tell me (what you believe) – which is an in your face poem, but one I am tempted to use at Threshold – it has something of Kenda Creasy Dean’s Practising Passion about it.
Having read Selah I have been reaching backwards to Jarrett’s other work, and so I find A Gay Poem, which I tagged in Selah as here in an earlier version. It would seem this is as far back as I will go, as algorithms seem to be giving the limited copies of Jarrett’s earlier work Antique Roadshow worthy prices :-/
