Minor Notes, Volume 1 : Poems by a Slave; Visions of the Dusk; and Bronze
by Joshua Bennett (editor), Jesse McCarthy (editor)
Minor Notes · Book 1Description
This collection brings together three significant, yet often overlooked, works by pioneering Black poets. It features George Moses Horton's "Poems by a Slave," a poignant testament from the antebellum South, Fenton Johnson's formally innovative prose poem "Visions of the Dusk," and Georgia Douglas Johnson's "Bronze: A Book of Verse," a collection that cemented her reputation as a leading voice of the early 20th century. Through these powerful verses, readers are invited to explore themes of identity, resilience, and the enduring power of the Black experience in America. Edited by Joshua Bennett and Jesse McCarthy, this volume offers a vital reintroduction to these essential voices in American literature.
