"Every Shut Eye Ain't Asleep" is a rich collection of the work of
post-World War II African-American poets. It brings together the
voices of the most important African-American poets of our time,
beginning with the highly influential Robert Hayden and Gwendolyn
Brooks, and covers an astonishing range of styles and techniques.
This extraordinary body of poetry is the flowering of an
artistic tradition established earlier in this century by Paul
Laurence Dunbar, Countee Cullen, and Langston Hughes. The newer
work comprises many different visions, ranging from the chiseled
and layered modernism of Jay Wright to the plainspoken ferocity of
Sonia Sanchez, from the dazzling witticisms of Ishmael Reed to the
plangent lyricism of Rita Dove.
Edited by the distinguished poet Michael Harper and his star
student and colleague Anthony Walton, this notable collection of
work will be the standard anthology in the field for years to
come.
