Customer Reviews

I loved every word of it.

Every poem was so good, I went through the whole book within one day. i reccomend this book to anyone who loves poetry.

Smooth, inspired poetry and prose.

Some of the most inspirational black leaders show from where their own inspiration is drawn: the heavenly. The fear, awe and reverence every culture feels towards the realm of the angelic and the spirituality of the African-American culture in particular is highlighted by excerpts from poetry, prose and speeches. A beautiful collection with an intelligent introduction by the editor.
