Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of poetry by poet Michael Ellis. "I wanted to write the best slavery poem ever written-perhaps win a Pulitzer or a Faulkner or something. And I had every intention of conforming to the standards of modern verse and composition; lyrics fluidly written, perfect in frame, tempo and time-But a lot of my thoughts on slavery were just too difficult to rhyme." (Thesis For English 121) M.e. Miller
