520    FROM THE POET the Chicago Tribune calls the new voice of 
       Chicago, comes L-vis Lives!, a bold new collection of 
       poetry and prose exploring the collision of race, art, and
       appropriation in American culture. L-vis is an imagined 
       persona, a representation of artists who have used and 
       misused Black music. Like so many others who gained fame 
       and fortune from their sampling, L-vis is as much a 
       sincere artist as he is a thief. In Kevin Coval's poems, L
       -vis' story is equal parts forgotten history, 
       autobiography, and re-imaginings. We see shades of Elvis 
       Presley, the Beastie Boys, and Eminem, and meet some of 
       history's more obscure whiteboy heroes and anti-heroes: 
       legendary breakdancers, political activists, and music 
       impresarios. A story of both artistic theft and radical 
       invention, L-vis Lives! is a poetic novella on all of the 
       possibilities and problems of post-racial" American 
       culture-where Black art is still at times only fully 
       accepted in a white face, and every once in a while an L-
       vis" comes along to step in to the void. i am a hero to 
       most. the great hope of something other. a complex back-
       story. something other than the business of my father. 
       Bland's antonym. jim crow's black sheep. the forgotten son
       left to rise in the darkness among the dis carded in the 
       wild of working class, single mother hoods. a hero who 
       transcends who translates the dis satisfactions of the 
       plains; kids of kurt cobain, method man amphetamine, the 
       odd Iowan who digs dirt and lights beyond the pig yard, 
       spits nebraskan argot, hero to the heart land, middle 
       brow(n) america "--|cProvided by publisher.
