Slow Trains, an online literary journal, just posted a poem I wrote several years ago called “Boplicity” (it is named for a Miles Davis cut). I think it is my most successful attempt at what I’ll call transliteration of music to word — trying to capture the rhythms and contours of Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and the rest.
