“Sterling Plumpp’s poems are the cartography to our ancient tongues, silted and scribed in The Blues. His inner explorations are seismic eruptions of ancestral scale, galactic in reach and honed in the bell of Bebop’s tremulous birthing story. His lyric: all/truism be indigo line/break/through/out the canon and in/to/ward saints marching in. This poet’s self-imposed Exile is a mellifluous, multi-chordal long-distance call—a compass reading to the home / front where you might stand up and / yell amen on walls / of eternity.”
