Resumo

Calling His Children Home Natasha Trethewey (bio) for Buddy Bolden Imagine a picture frame that is really a window, weathered white, wide open. In the background, dark arms flex to collar a note—blow it strum it beat it to the cut. All you see is the bell of a horn, or a valve, shiny as a silver dollar. His cornet comes toward you, pushing through the window, leaving the frame. You look straight into the deep black mouth— it is talking, loud. Come on, it calls. You’re almost here.
