This amazing cycle of poems traces Holiday's life from a very young girl to her singing "Strange Fruit" at Cafe Society. Besides reading an excerpt from her book, Weatherford also talks about why jazz is so important in American culture and how she began her long career in poetry and writing for children and adults.
