Black Moods - Collected Poems

Klappentext Black Moods collects for the first time all of Frank Marshall Davis's extant published poems as well as his previously unpublished work! From sharp-edged sketches of Southside Chicago's urban landscape to the prismatic world that lay beneath Hawaii's placid surface! Davis's muscular poems blend social! cultural! and political concerns--always shaped by his promise to "try to be as direct as good blues." John Edgar Tidwell's introduction examines both Davis's poetry and his politics! presenting a subtle portrait of a complex writer devoted to exposing discriminatory practices and reaffirming the humanity of the common people. Zusammenfassung Recovering politically potent poems aiming from "the long lost father of modern Black poetry"
