Where "The Poetry of Jazz" volumes offered the : :' voice of the late U.S. Poet Laureate Philip Levine, here, ': ,: notable contributors include Tyehimba Jess, Juan Felipe Herrera, :, : Patricia Smith, T.R. Hummer, and Edward Hirsch, along with : :' pianist Kenny Werner, guitarist Ben Monder and drummer Ari ': ,: Hoenig, among many others.
