No better poetry on the complexity of black life today.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Whether writing about the existential complications of playground basketball (the Willie poems), the unbearable beauties of Thelonious Monk (Braiding My Sister's Hair) or why Stevie Wonder is the bomb (Time With Stevie Wonder In It), Christopher Gilbert captures both the soul and the aching of African-American experience. Deserves a place beside Robert Hayden, Yusef Komunyakaa, June Jordan and Rita Dove.
