In this, his first full collection of poetry, author Preston K. Touchstone drew inspiration from the work of artists who emerged during the Harlem Renaissance, the Beat Generation, and the Black Arts Movement.
His use of elements like jazz rhythms and vernacular language, follow the unique form of iconic writers like Langston Hughes, Ted Joans, Jayne Cortez, Yusuf Komunyakaa and Amiri Baraka. Writers whose voices and contributions brilliantly depicted the joys, struggles, art, music and complexities of the African-American experience and continue to speak to it today.
Notes from the Underground continues this tradition of cultural celebration through the arts.
