Leontyne Price remains one of the twentieth centurys most revered opera singers and, notably, 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 patriotand himself as a fan, a budding singer, and a gay manthrough passages that move polyphonically through the contested spaces of Black identity, Black sound, Black sensibility, and Black history.Structured operatically into overture, acts, and postlude, The Monster I Am Today guides the reader through associative shifts from arias like weather events and Prices fortytwominute final ovation to memories of Simmondss coming of age in New Orleans. As he melds lyric forms with the biography of one of classical musics greatest virtuosos, Simmonds composes a duet that spotlights Prices profound influence on him as a person and an artist: Thats how I hear: Her.
