African American poetry : 250 years of struggle & song Cover Image Book

African American poetry : 250 years of struggle & song / Kevin Young, editor.

250 years of struggle & song (portion title)
Young, Kevin, 1970- (editor.).

Summary:

Across a turbulent history, Black poets created a rich and multifaceted tradition that has been both a reckoning with American realities and an imaginative response to them. One of the great American art forms, African American poetry encompasses many kinds of verse: formal, experimental, vernacular, lyric, and protest. The anthology opens with moving testaments to the power of poetry as a means of self-assertion, as enslaved people voice their passionate resistance to slavery. This volume captures the power and beauty of this diverse tradition and its challenge to American poetry and culture. The volume also features biographies of each poet and notes that illuminate cultural references and allusions to historical events.-- Adapted from jacket.
