Celebrated novelist, poet, and MacArthur fellow Ishmael Reed pushes
the boundaries once again in the publication of From Totems to Hip
Hop--a truly all-inclusive multicultural anthology--a literary
event which will finally even the playing field. This important
collection synthesizes and presents broad swaths of work from poets
of all races and backgrounds, as only Reed can, ranging from
Gertrude Stein to Ai, from Bessie Smith to Askia Toure, from W. C.
Handy to the little-known poetry of Ernest Hemingway. Through his
unique position in American letters, as writer, teacher, and even
publisher, Reed has an unparalleled working knowledge of many of
the more marginalized voices in American poetry. This collection
will reflect that unique access by including acknowledged masters
as well as lesser known talents in greater variety than any
previous anthology. From Totems to Hip Hop will cover American
poetry from its pre-Columbian origins to the hip hop lyricists of
today and, with the guidance of Reed's thoughtful and provocative
introduction and headnotes, trace the remarkably rich
cross-pollination which has continually occurred across racial and
cultural lines.
