Description
Spanning more than three decades of groundbreaking work, this retrospective gathers poetry that is lyrical, sensual, politically charged, and deeply rooted in Black cultural and personal experience. The collection explores love, family, womanhood, identity, injustice, resistance, and the enduring search for freedom and self-definition. Moving between intimate reflection and powerful social witness, these poems showcase a commanding voice at the heart of the Black Arts Movement and American poetry. Together, they offer a vivid portrait of an influential poet whose work continues to challenge, affirm, and inspire.
