Diamond Grove Slave Tree

By Xavier Cavazos

In this ambitious and cutting-edge follow-up to Barbarian at the Gate, poet Xavier Cavazos explores the intersection of race, agriculture, history, and plant genus to focus more clearly on the life and times of Iowa State University alumnus, George Washington Carver. Cavazos employs both persona and narrative structure with unapologetic delivery on the page to recreate Carver's living and social environments at the university and beyond. Book jacket.
