Recenzje

a fine and very important book. Despite the book's density, the model presented offers substantial and illuminating findings that will aid the understanding of flow. Aspects of Ohriner's model will certainly benefit scholars engaged with hip-hop performance, and it has real potential to augment studies of rhythm in poetic speech, such is the unique intersection between music and oratory contained within the art form ... The resultant tome provides much-needed analytical tools for an erstwhile unquantifiable phenomenon, formalising flow for future generations of scholars and students alike.
