Description:
The University of Hip Hop is a collection of eleven original poems by poet and performer Mayda Del Valle, winner of the National Poetry Slam Individual title and Nuyorican Poet's Café Grand Slam Championship and National Poetry Slam Individual title. The collection is an homage to her hometown of Chicago.
Review Quotes: "The poet manages the collection by curating it so that the reader can DJ the poems, arrange their own set, and thus, to borrow a phrase from the world of hip-hop, 'spin' their own performance. I invite you into this book to play."--Chris Abani, from the foreword
