Free Verse And Freedom Fights: Life And Legacy Of The Last Poets
29 Dec 2001
by
Simon Fitzgerald
What follows is a detailed analysis of a hard to find self-entitled album of The Last Poets released in 1970. I first heard of The Last Poets about three years ago from a fifty year old i worked with selling programs for Outside Pitch (Yeah thanks Jerome), but was not able to find their album THE LAST POETS until very recently. I feel that this lack of information is a concious (maybe subconcious) effort by our society to erase its own rich history of revolution (with such songs as "When the Revolution Comes" and "Niggers Are Scared of Revolution"), lying through omission. But as someone who thinks of himself as a revolutionary, I couldn't let history be misrepresented, and as one who considers himself a poet as well, I identify with the mission, the successes, and the failures of the Poets. While the group never saw the type of revolution that redefines a society, what the Last Poets created was revolution. The world is richer because of their rhymes.
