Hettie Jones presents an intimate memoir of her life--from her middle-class Jewish family in Queens to her marriage to the controversial black poet LeRoi Jones and her search for her own artistic voice. Infused with the passion of the late 1950s and early 1960s, this memoir is a deeply moving look at the spirit of the artist and the birth of an era.

reviewed How I Became Hettie Jones on October 19, 2014 How I Became Hettie Jones
I really enjoyed reading this book. An old friend recommended it to me many months ago and I ordered a used copy, but it sat in a stack until we reached the unit on the Beats in a MOOC course I am taking for the third time, ModPo (Modern and Contemporary American Poetry, Coursera:Penn). So I started it to get more insight into the Beats and the New York School and I couldn't put it down. We all need motivation, inspiration, and renewal and this memoir contains all and more in spadefuls. It also reveals the seamy side of a time we might tend to over-romanticize, but in a very human and uplifting way. As a librarian, I can say it is a narrative chocked full of meaty and juicy metadata. As a poet, I can attest that it is a wonderful cross-sectional slice of poetry, music and art - live and breathing. I love this book!
