by David Aaron Greenberg (Author)

Expanding on contemporary oral traditions, David Aaron Greenberg coins the terms "Trap Poems" and "Lit Drawings" as representations of lyrical and figurative poetry. Greenberg's book sets the stage for a dialogue between word and form by continuing in the lineage of Jazz and Nuyorican poets of the late 20th century with a nod to surrealist and romantic traditions of poetic expression. Pushing form firmly into the musical and literary landscape, the artist's complementary drawings further illuminate the printed word.
