While there have been countless books written about Detroit, none have captured its incredible musical history like this one.
This collection of poems and lyrics covers numerous genres including jazz, blues, doo-wop, Motown, classic rock, punk, hip-hop, and techno. It was curated & edited by M.L. Liebler and Jim Daniels, recently awarded the Michigan Notable prize of 2021. Daniels is a poet & writer based out of Pittsburgh (with Michigan ties) and Liebler is also a writer, poet, and editor, based here in Detroit--both of these gentlemen teach at esteemed universities such as Carnegie Mellon and Wayne State respectively. Their book was published through Michigan State University Press.
