Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry by Camille T. Dungy

5.0

An excellent collection of nature poems written by African Americans. Dungy's anthology is not what I expected from the title...I actually expected a collection of poems about the nature of blackness, not uncommon subject matter for much of the literature written by and about African Americans.

I merely rented this text for school, but I just purchased it from Amazon.com. I'm very grateful for Dungy's contribution to Black literature, we desperately needed it.
