Side One: 1920-1940
Bill Harris
Yardbird Suite, Side One: 1920-1940 is a marvelous
interpretation of instrumental music through poetry. It is described
by the author as "a biopoem" containing "fictionalized accounts
of
events, real and imagined," in the life of the famous jazz
musician,
Charles "Yardbird" Parker.
Harris, who is better known

more than fifty productions nationally. This collection, winner of
the annual Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award, is his first published
book of poetry.
