My kind of poetry

"R is for Sonny Rollins: His rebellious ragging sparkplugged rebop.
Sonny reinvigorates rituals.
Strong in rejoicing, right rooted in risk,
Rollins' robust style radiates roundness."

From the new book "Jazz A-B-Z: An A to Z Collection of Jazz Portraits" by Wynton Marsalis and Paul Rogers, Candlewick Press. I got a Borders 25 percent off coupon this week and I think I know where it's going.
