It is  important that folk poetry be included because it is  the root and inspiration of later, literary  poetry. Not only does this book present the full range  of Black poetry, but it presents most poets in  depths, and in some cases presents aspects of a poet  neglected or overlooked before. Gwendolyn Brooks  is represented not only by poems on racial and  domestic themes, but is revealed as a writer of  superb love lyrics. Tuming away from White models and  retuming to their roots has freed Black poets to  create a new poetry. This book records their  progress."--from the Introduction by Dudley  Randall 607067 1 5 1985 The Black Poets total:50|5:21|4:18|3:10|2:1|1:0| 50 209 67 4 5 0 false false Tue Aug 04 09:00:10 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 21 17:30:50 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 04 09:00:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 15 02:06:24 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 02:06:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Dec 19 08:09:08 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 08:09:28 -0800 2008 ]]> 5 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Thu Jun 14 13:34:07 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 14 13:42:23 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Nov 11 21:23:31 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 21:23:31 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 14:54:42 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 14:54:42 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 04 14:07:40 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 14:07:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Aug 21 01:26:40 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 01:26:40 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 29 02:56:27 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 02:56:27 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jul 18 04:16:06 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 04:16:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 15:02:21 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 15:02:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 14:00:17 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 14:01:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 08:37:27 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 08:37:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 23 19:57:17 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 19:57:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 13 12:32:13 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 12:32:13 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu May 07 05:48:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 05:48:00 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Mar 26 12:45:35 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 12:45:35 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Mar 13 09:12:02 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 09:12:02 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Feb 27 16:28:24 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 16:28:24 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Feb 04 08:04:37 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 08:04:37 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=620693
