Sterling Plumpp
Room 214, Stewart Center 7:00pm
Sterling Plumpp's poetry is often based on blues and jazz rhythms and has won numerous awards including the Richard Wright Literacy Excellence Award. Plumpp has published twelve volumes of work including Velvet Be Bop Kente Cloth, Blues Narratives, and Black Rituals. Plumpp's blues narratives are poetic form and a dialogue between poet and subject, unlike anything else in American poetry – a vital passionate, haunting poetry meant to be read, spoken, and sung.
