New Orleans: Department of English, Xavier University, [1972]. First Edition. Octavo (21cm). Pictorial card wrappers; 82pp. Trivial external dusting, else a fine, unread copy.

Uncommon anthology of New Orleans poets, edited by the briefly prominent Afro-Mexican author Carl Senna, today perhaps best known as the subject of his daughter Danzy Senna's deeply critical tell-all memoir Where Did You Sleep Last Night (2009), a book which provoked the elder Senna to sue his daughter for defamation in 2010. Contributors include Brenda Bozant Davillier, Fatima Shaik, Jimmy Stevens, Jurdon Leonard, Lolette Fowler, others.
