“Luxury, then, is a way of / being ignorant, comfortably / An approach to the open market / of least information. Where theories / can thrive, under heavy tarpaulins / without being cracked by ideas.” –LeRoi Jones, “Political Poem” (1969)
Do you know why LeRoi Jones switched his name to Amiri Baraka and why he converted to Islam?
