\"\"<\/a>Join M.L. Liebler and special guest poets; Robin Eichele, George Tysh, Chris Tysh, Sonya Pouncy, Diane DeCillis, Michael Lauchlan, and Cal Freeman, at the Book Beat (26010 Greenfield Rd<\/strong>) on Sunday, March 29nd from 3 PM to 5 PM,<\/del><\/strong> for a presentation of Respect: The Poetry of Detroit Music<\/em><\/strong>, an anthology of poems and lyrics from Detroit’s music scene which he recently co-edited with Jim Daniels. Kick off Poetry Month with this new anthology of local and national musicians and poets using language to express their love of music. <\/p>\n

This collection shows the global impact of Detroit\u2014Grammy winners, Pultizer prize winners, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and poet laureates. The antholgy includes Eminem, Rita Dove, Nikki Giovanni, Andrei Codrescu, Jack White, and many others.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“More than two years in the compiling, the book showcases over 140 versifiers, from John Sinclair to Fred “Sonic” Smith, Fats Domino to the Electrifying Mojo, all with one connecting thread: a fascination with and admiration for the city of Detroit and our diverse, wondrous musical heritage.” \u2013 Jim McFarlin, Metro Times<\/a><\/p>\n

“So many lines and stanzas emblematic of Detroit\u2019s poetry and music resonate in RESPECT<\/em>, edited by Jim Daniels and M. L. Liebler, and Kim D. Hunter\u2019s homage to the late Faruq Z. Bey personifies the collection. His horn, Hunter writes, ‘was just another \/ way to breathe.’ And this is a breathless assemblage of the city\u2019s most gifted voices.” \u2013 Herb Boyd, author of Black Detroit: A People’s History of Self-Determination<\/em><\/p>\n

“RESPECT<\/em> is a creative wave of Detroit’s music history through poetry. The Motor City is known for its historic music legacy\u2014from Motown to blues, rock and techno\u2014and now that culture will be captured in this new book.” \u2013 LaToya Cross, WDET<\/a><\/p>\n
