Taken from bit.ly/15ldW6F The Last Poets were certainly the first poets to emphasize recordings rather than books. Of course there were other poets active in the Black Arts Movement of the seventies but except for Bob Kaufman, all the other poets had books regardless of whether their poetry emphasized the oral tradition. Indeed, even Kaufman, who did not write down his poetry, is not an exception to the book emphasis. Bob Kaufman’s wife transcribed much of his poetry and his work is primarily studied via three books: Golden Sardines, Solitudes Crowded With Loneliness, and Ancient Rain. youtube/watch?v=nk8Wdw99zH0
