The Maverick Room: Poems

With its defiance for any one tradition or voice, Thomas Sayers Ellisâ€™s debut becomes a powerful argument against monotony

A dream. A democracy. A savage liberty.
And yet another anthem and yet another heaven
and yet another party wants you.
Wants you wants you wants you.

â€”from â€œGroovallegianceâ€

In one poem, Thomas Sayers Ellis prognosticates, â€œPretty soon, the Age of the Talk Show / Will slip on a peel left in the avant- gutter.â€ The result is The Maverick Room, the testing ground of determination and serendipity, where call-and-response becomes Steinian echo becomes Post-Soul percussive pleasure becomes a bootlegged recording hustled out of a D.C. go-go club.
