Book Reviews of Sun Ra: Collected Works Vol. 1 - Immeasurable Equation
Book Review: "it's been awhile, i shouldnt've left you..."
Summary: 4 Stars
if you cant see the appropriateness of quoting the rapper rakim in the review title for sun ra's poetry, then you might not want to check this book out - its definitely for the eclectic creative collector types more interested in the process of creative literature more than the academic pursuit of it (although, this book would be a great resource material for the studious academia, especially those interested in music and poetry).
as a writer and artist, i find the works of sun ra very inspirational, something i keep close by when the other sparks to my creativity arent getting the job done. i mean, you're not gonna find yourself sitting over brie and wine reciting these poems to your lover (or maybe you will, if you're anything like me and you're just one-weird-individualŠ) - the value of this collection is 1.) - its source and 2.) - the feeding of any gnawing spiritual need manifesting itself within you.
if the collective works of ishmael reed and octavia butler got together to procreate a life form, this would be it.
this collection could never run for president, but it would definitely make a good addition to the supreme court.
(and yes, i have been away from amazon for a while - its been years since my last review; does that make me a bad person?
i really try not to be...)
