About this episode

Adebe D.A. is reading from her book ex nihilo at the Frontenac House launch of Dektet 2010. 'These lyrics dare to ?bring da noise? ? not only the funk and blues of race snafus, but also the exquisite soul sound of intellectual analysis, harmonizing rhythmic lines and gritty insights. They come from a woman who knows the intricate gradations connecting black skin to white, pop culture to academia, and links sophisticated analysis with the verve and drive of performance poetry.' ?Dektet Jury http://frontenachouse.com/titles/single/ex_nihilo/ The year 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of Frontenac House and the Quartet poetry series. To celebrate, Frontenac simultaneously published 10 poetry books: Dektet 2010. Titles were chosen by a jury of leading Canadian poets: bill bissett, George Elliot Clarke, and Alice Major using a blind selection process. Jury members did not know the identity of persons submitting manuscripts.
