Praise for Transcircularities“A multi-award-winning veteran of performance poetry and of the printed page, [Troupe] demonstrates his ebullient and undimmed powers in this capacious selection.” —Publishers Weekly“Troupe is a master of rhythm, repetition and song with an amazing ability to capture the tones and colors of not only speech but the landscape of thoughts, ideas and culture. . . . Transcircularities is important because it succeeds in giving us a panoramic view into the poet’s development of craft and style over the past three decades.” —Black Issues Book Review
