The Architecture of Language: Poems

　　In the Whitmanic tradition, Troupe's poetry explodes from the page, capturing the spirit of America. Inspired by contemporary art, music, literature, and sports, The Architecture of Language dismantles the dangerously cliched, wooden rhetoric saturating our national discourse and rebuilds the language in poems bursting with beauty, energy, and enough imaginative fire to light the way to the future.

　　Featured on two PBS poetry series, Quincy Troupe is the author of seven volumes of poetry, including Transcircularities,a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and a selection in the Minnesota-based Talking Volumes book club.
