	Mutabaruka to perform in Lincoln, Nebraska
		Mutabaruka was known in Jamaica from the early 70s for his independently published poetry collections, Outcry (1973), Sun and Moon (1976) and The Book: First Poems (1981) before he gained notoriety internationally from his acclaimed debut album Check It, released in 1983.
		Those who follow reggae music may know the artist Mutabaruka as one of the leading exponents of the genre known as "dub poetry." The form derived as a natural extension of the Jamaican oral tradition and poetry, combined with a musical backdrop of the island's well-known reggae rhythms.
		To call Mutabaruka merely a "dub poet" belies his accomplishments in music production, radio, film, and business.

	Jean Binta Breeze
		Where earlier dub and performance poets in Britain tended to explicitly document particular incidents affecting the black community (the Brixton riots of 1981; the injustices of stop and search policing), Breeze’s poetry is more oblique and indirect.
		Although dub poetry’s roots can be traced back to the reggae deejay and Jamaican popular culture, it has a particular history within the British context, where it found a captive audience during the politicised years of the 1970s and early 1980s.
		Breeze’s work differs from conventional dub poetry (which is often wrongly perceived as being immediate or ‘spontaneous’) in terms of its self-consciousness.

	Akhmatova, Anna -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		In the second decade of the 20th century, Symbolism was challenged by two other schools, the Acmeists, who favoured clarity over metaphysical vagueness, and the brash Futurists, who wanted to throw all earlier and most contemporary poetry “from the steamship of modernity.” Among the Acmeists, Nikolay Gumilyov (1886–1921), who stressed poetic craftsmanship over the occult,...

		Long Island City, NY (August 27, 1999) - Opens September 12, 1999 - The Artist Out of Work: Art and Language 1972 - 1981 is the first opportunity for a New York audience to see a major selection of work produced during the 1970s by the legendary conceptual art collective, Art and Language.

	The Human League: album reviews and ratings
		This lineup completed the Human League's third album, its breakthrough and masterpiece Dare by the fall of 1981.
		A relatively large number of instrumentals (7 out of 16) are dispersed throughout the album, but far from being annoying fillers, they point to the synth layering expertise that the League have developed over the years.
		Its when the Human League try hard to write pop songs (Lets Get Together Again) that things fall apart, however this album is worth tracking down as, surprisingly, there are no tracks from "Romantic" included on the recent "Greatest Hits".
