About this listen

Step into the heart of the roaring 1920s Harlem! In this episode, "The Quiet Fire" gets ready to groove to the soulful rhythms of jazz and feel the electric pulse of Harlem nightlife. We'll walk alongside Anne Spencer, Helene Johnson, Mae V. Cowdery, and other trailblazing women poets whose courageous verses on race, love, and resistance ignited a "quiet fire" that continues to burn brightly. Prepare to be swept away as we bring their powerful words to life, accompanied by the nostalgic tap of typewriter keys and the smooth, unforgettable melodies of an era that changed the world.
