African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song by
5.0
RATING: 5 STARS
MUST READ!!! There is so much rich language, emotions, ideas, a timeline of history that it broke me a little to return this to the library. While I read this anthology, I kept a little notebook beside me writing down new-to-me poets that I would need to find books on and research further online. I read many of these poets out loud as I had to hear the cadence in each poem. Several of the poems are rattling around in my mind right now coming to me at various times.
