Item #   105250

An exhilerating compilation of three centuries of African-American poetry, spanning the first known poet, Lucy Terry, to W.E.B. DuBois, Gwendolyn Brooks, to more recent writers. Works reveal the juxtaposition of the ironies of Black America: resistance and reconciliation, hope and despair, lamentations and celebrations. A remarkable, stirring volume of prose. Ages 12-adult.
