Step Into A World

"Kevin Powell is pushing to bring, as he has so brilliantly donebefore, the voices of his generation: the concerns, the cares, thefears, and the fearlessness. Step into a World is a kaleidoscopeinto the world not bound by artificial constructs like nation. JohnColtrane recorded 'Giant Steps,' which is a riff on the sight andsounds in his muse. Powell plays the computer with equalastuteness." -Nikki Giovanni

'This anthology is indeed abreakthrough! It combines the boldness and daring of hip-hop withthe intellectual keenness of a Michele Wallace or a Clyde Taylor."-Ishmael Reed

"In a culture where videos, the Internet, and other high-techcommunication is being consumed like the latest mind-altering drug,how does great literature grow and survive? These writers willanswer that all-important question. This anthology provides a clue,a hint, as to where we might be going. They are resisting all thisvacant, empty-minded nothingness. Read them. Listen to them. If youdon't, you do so at your peril." -Quincy Troupe
