My Black Me: A Beginning Book of Black Poetry

by Arnold Adoff

Book Overview

What does it mean to be black? What does it mean to be African-American? What is the black experience? The spirited voices of twenty-six African-American poets speak to these and other questions in fifty collected poems that explore the African-American world. The rich words of this treasury rang out for the first time over twenty years ago, and will continue to shout their message for years to come.

Portrait

Ijust love each and everypoem in this book

It was very educational and fascinating.

My favorite poem is "Black Monument". It was very emotional and interesting. Another favorite poem is "Dream Variation". I would suggest that children ages 9 - 12 read this book.
