Hoops

by Major Jackson

Book Overview

In Hoops, Major Jackson continues to mine the solemn marvels of ordinary lives: a grandfather gardens in a tenement backyard; a teacher unconsciously renames her black students after French painters. The substance of Jackson's art is the representation of American citizens whose heroic endurance makes them remarkable and transcendent.

Customer Reviews

This is a real poet, one who chooses to speak to all of us, not just a select audience.

Don't miss this book. Jackson reminds us that poetry speaks to us all, heals us all, erases our differences, joins us all.
