In Olio Live - a very special one-night performance recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theater in February 2019 - poet Tyehimba Jess introduces listeners to his 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, Olio.
A stellar cast of actors, accompanied by pianist Jeremy Gill, performs a selection of poems from the collection, all of which reinterpret the lived experience of real historical figures. You’ll meet William “Blind” Boone, who testifies to Scott Joplin’s greatness at a time when “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” by Irving Berlin used uncredited sections of Joplin’s work; Sissieretta Jones, an operatic star who elevates what a “revue” show could be; and other African American musical stars of the early 20th century. Despite the Emancipation of African Americans and the rise of Tin Pan Alley, these gifted composers and musicians continued to experience appropriation of their work and, often, lack of remuneration.
In this context, the word “olio” also means a hodgepodge, or a miscellaneous collection of literary or musical selections; taken as a whole, the triumphant performances of Olio Live ask listeners to consider the nature of identity, performance, and ever-present history. Tyehimba Jess and Yahdon Israel immortalize and embody a long tradition of African American “citizenship through musicianship” in this timeless live audio.

Ty for the book. Always helpful to see what those you disagree with think. This is why Censorship is so very evil.
That said.
Try being white in South Africa. THEN come back to me crying about the experiences your great-grandfather had, and the impact of that on your insanely priviliaged life.
I am fairly certain that I live through more hard-core racism, and I mean ACTUAL racism, not e.g. snide remarks, in a week, every week, than these authors have exprienced over their entire lives.
Oh. And I don’t see anyone waxing poetic about the Nazi-law equivalents which the ANC Inc has put into the books, all aimed at literally opressing and literally culturally destroying all the Evil Whitey.
