One of the New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books WITH AN
APPENDIX OF NEVER-BEFORE-PUBLISHED WORK Fusing the personal and the
political in high-voltage verse, Amiri Baraka was one of the
preeminent literary innovators of the past century. This volume
comprises the fullest spectrum of his rousing, revolutionary poems,
from his first collection to unpublished pieces composed during his
final years. Throughout Baraka's career as a prolific writer in
several genres (also published under the name LeRoi Jones), he was
vehemently outspoken against oppression of African American
citizens, and he radically altered the discourse surrounding racial
inequality. His legacy in world literature is matched by his
widespread influence as an activist and cultural leader. Praised
for its lyricism and introspection, his early poetry emerged from
the Beat generation, while his later writing is marked by the Black
Arts Movement's intensely rebellious fervor and subversive
ideology. All along, his primary focus was on how to live and love
in the present moment despite the enduring difficulties of human
history.
