Overview
In 2014, author Donald Newlove (1928-2021) put together a collection of articles he had written between 1954 and 1981 that had previously appeared in such publications as Esquire, Evergreen Review, The Village Voice, and New York Magazine. He titled this compilation Trumpet Rhapsodies, describing it as "a kind of autobiography of my early days as a writer and of my search for a language that trumpeted my youth."
The subject matter of these 15 pieces is wide-ranging. Among the topics, Newlove writes of being chosen to play Taps at a military funeral despite being a "less-than-amateur" musician, witnessing (and participating in) the filming of Andy Warhol's first musical, meeting Chilean poet and politician Pablo Neruda, a spirited dinner at the home of American poet Robert Lowell, his own venture into filmmaking, a run-in with Florida racists and law enforcement, and the secrets of New York City's Strand Book Store.
