Jazz is one of those rare poetry collections that manages not only to elevate contemporary English-language poetry, but also to give the reader a glimpse of its future.

Jéanpaul Ferro's Jazz is full of this gut-wrenching diversity that moves us through a realm of heartbreaking worlds. It is high art. It is modern life. It is one of the more elegant collections of poems I have read in a while. And like real jazz, it leaves you dizzy and drunk and panting for more.
