A stunning poem/prose book

Reading this stunning mixture of politics, religion, sex, slavery ... brings to mind writers like Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg and Eduardo Galleano - a song of a people who dare to sing in despair.My personal favorite - among many wonderful lines: "and that no place, nowhere, grows the tree that does not exist / But / we continue to search for you, tree, / in the early morning bread-lines / and in the nights where one lines up for dreams."This book is a keeper.
