In Between the Night and Its Music, renowned poet and leading figure of the Black Arts Movement, A.B. Spellman intertwines jazz and poetry through the collection of new and selected poems. Author and scholar Margo Natalie Crawford says, “This necessary book shows that [Spellman’s] entire poetic flow has been a profound movement of words that create the sensuality, music, and quiet of a Black collective consciousness.” Sponsored by African and African American Studies.
