Step into a World

Step Into A World

"Kevin Powell is pushing to bring, as he has so brilliantly done
before, the voices of his generation: the concerns, the cares, the
fears, and the fearlessness. Step into a World is a kaleidoscope
into the world not bound by artificial constructs like nation. John
Coltrane recorded 'Giant Steps,' which is a riff on the sight and
sounds in his muse. Powell plays the computer with equal
astuteness." -Nikki Giovanni

"Those of us who pay attention were aware that the younger
generation of black writers was being smothered by the anointment
of talented tenth Divas and Divuses, and their commercial
accommodationist 'Fourth Renaissance. 'This anthology is indeed a
breakthrough! It combines the boldness and daring of hip-hop with
the intellectual keenness of a Michele Wallace or a Clyde Taylor."
-Ishmael Reed

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