Title: The Song Shoots Out of My Mouth Author: Jamie Adoff Narrator: Jamie Adoff Format: Unabridged Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-08 Publisher: Penguin Group USA and Audible Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: This rockin' collection of 24 dynamic, original poems vividly captures a variety of musical experiences from the teen perspective. From playing in the school band to playing air guitar, from performing a favorite song to dreaming of stardom, the power of music is explored with passion. The rhythm and language of each poem reflect a different musical genre, including classical, hip-hop, jazz, folk, and reggae. Whether hitting drums "with more force/than a million recess bullies", rapping "no one can touch me, don't even try to front", or depicting the struggles of a garage band, this vibrant collection celebrates the importance of music for teenagers. Critic Reviews: "Some of the poems are slyly funny. Others are more serious; '88,' for example, uses the piano, with its black and white keys, as a metaphor for civil rights and integration. A few are forgettable, but all shine with the poet's obvious love of music and musicians." (Booklist)
