Jazzy and funky-fresh, Red Hot on a Silver Note combines contemporary themes with hip-hop sensitivity and traditional beat vision. With strong rhythms, cautious optimism and ironic humor, Groves explores racism, love, prejudice, cultural pride, and family relationships. Tough or tender, her poems capture the rhythms of speech--intense and natural, clear and direct, always communicating the sense of deeply felt experience.
