A fresh examination of Harper's body of work as an archive of Black
life, thought, and culture.The first book devoted to the
groundbreaking poet's work, Understanding Michael S. Harper locates
his poetic project within Black expressive tradition. The study
examines poems drawn from the eleven volumes of verse that Harper
(1938-2016) produced between 1970 and 2010, bringing attention to
his poetry's sustained engagement with music, literature, and the
visual arts. Author Michael A. Antonucci offers readers an account
of the poet's career while assessing his verse and providing a
sense of its perspective on Black America and American experience.
Throughout his examination of Harper's verse, Antonucci builds upon
the critical attention the poet received at the outset of his
career-he was twice nominated for the National Book Award.
Exploring the poet's celebrated examinations of history, kinship,
and Black music, Understanding Michael S. Harper develops and
expands critical dialogues about the poet and his body of work,
which, Antonucci argues, presents a counter narrative about the
composition and origins of the United States, reshaping prevailing
discourse about race, nation, and identity.
