The poetry of Alynetta Beck celebrate the experience of everyday African American people; invisible men and women who "..Sing the Blues", are "Tired of Being Po", and who are seeking "That American Dream." She conveys that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from popular culture.
