Equal parts experimental bellow and love utterance, Claudia Saleeby Savage's new collection, metal used for beauty alone, is a plea for music as prayer, music as protest, music as balm, and music as change. Her poetry entrances as she casts Macbeth's witches to perform jazz spells to urge the musician to rage and energize themselves as they heal the world.
Claudia Saleeby Savage's provocative, transcendent poetry brilliantly captures the energy of live music, providing a perspective that can only come from inside the band onstage. --Christopher Luna, Inaugural Poet Laureate of Clark County, WA
These free form poems levitate off the page. --Jacqueline Johnson, author of A Woman's Season
Through careful visual composition and an experimental spirit that even the legends of jazz would admire, this chapbook pops off with flushed language and jolting creativity. --Katherine Factor, author of A Sybil Society: Poems
