Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of work by award-winning poet, playwright, and educator Eugene B. Redmond celebrates a career that spans four decades and speaks of the veracity and audacity of the Black Arts Movement, the traditions of the Yoruba, and the complex history of the black American. The poetry of Redmond moves to the cadence of drums stripped from his ancestors and reclaimed by the burgeoning Hip-Hop movement of the 1970s.
