Cool music. Cool scene. \u003cp\u003eOver the next three years, Abramson takes thousands of vivid photographs of smoke-filled Pepper's, Perv's House, the Patio Lounge, High Chaparral, and other black nightclubs. Not so much the clubs, but the night people who fill the crowded bars until sunrise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnter Patricia Smith, a nationally acclaimed poet who grew up not far from these clubs. Smith, a four-time National Poetry Slam champion who was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2014, finds inspiration in Abramson's pictures. She creates words that capture the culture of Chicago's black nightclubs and the urban life that nurtured them. She brings his night world back to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmith's words and Abramson's photographs record the vitality of a special place and time. Her words give his photographs a new rhythm as well as a new place in Chicago and music history. The clubs seem timeless, but they came and went. Now, only Abramson's flash-filled photographs and Smith's resilient words remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0991541820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991541829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cityfiles Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 8.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015 pg. 21","brand":"Patricia Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437841658111,"sku":"9780991541829","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e86112c-5d23-4f60-9e01-57db4d0463f9.jpg?v=1777167131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gotta-go-gotta-flow-patricia-smith-9780991541829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
