Kevin Simmonds Livres

Leontyne Price remains one of the twentieth century's most revered opera singers and the first African American to achieve such international acclaim. In movements encompassing poetry and prose, writer and musician Kevin Simmonds explores Price as an icon, a diva, a woman, and a patriot - and himself as a fan, a budding singer, and a gay man.
