Blue Notes: Essays, Interviews, and Commentaries
As editor Radiclani Clytus makes clear in the volume's introductory essay, although Komunyakaa's poetry has its roots in the stylistic innovations of early twentieth-century American modernists, his writing often reflects his understanding that a "black" experience should not particularize the presentation of one's art. This volume, according to the editor, is an attempt to understand Komunyakaa's critical eclecticism within the context of his own words.
Yusef Komunyakaa's books of poetry include I Apologize for the Eyes in My Head, Magic City, Thieves of Paradise, and Neon Vernacular, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize and the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award in 1994.

“Poetry is a process of getting back to the unconscious. Hence, I am always writing–even when I’m not facing the white space. I feel writers are like reservoirs of images. We take in what is around us.” — Yusef Komunyakaa, Blue Notes: Essays, Interviews, and Commentaries https://t.co/R6HkTY32xk
