The author's first book. "I believe that a Black Poet has a responsibility to contribute his art toward the strengthening and unifying of the Black Nation. There are several ways that a poet may contribute to the liberation struggle. One way is to explore the relationships of brothers and sisters inside the nation in hopes of reflecting positive values and exposing negative ones. This is what I hope to do with my poems" (from rear wrapper). In 2021, Lomax was named the first Poet Laureate of Atlanta, Georgia. Not in Blockson. 90437.
