Black poets from the early twentieth century and onward come
together for a moving anthology, edited and organized by the late,
revered poet June Jordan.
First published in 1970, "soulscript is a poignant, panoramic
collection of poetry from some of the most eloquent voices in the
art. Selected for their literary excellence and by the dictates of
Jordan's heart, these works tell the story of both collective and
personal experiences, in Jordan's words, "in tears, in rage, in
hope, in sonnet, in blank/free verse, in overwhelming rhetorical
scream."
"Soulscript features works by Jordan and other luminaries like
Gwendolyn Brooks, Countee Cullen, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Nikki
Giovanni, Langston Hughes, Gayl Jines, James Weldon Johnson, Audre
Lorde, Claude McKay, Ishmael Reed, Sonia Sanchez, and Richard
Wright, as well as the fresh voices of a turbulent era's younger
writers. Celebrated spoken-word poet Staceyann Chin, an original
cast member of "Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, has also added an
introduction that speaks to Jordan's legacy, helping to further
cement "soulscript as a visionary compilation that has already
become a modern classic.
