Customer Reviews

Important work from a committed poet

The role of the poet as a social activist is manifested in diverse ways in this book. In Haki's poems one senses a voice deeply concerned with the plight of Africans from the diaspora.

Good Stuff

This book shows once again the type of emotions that Haki R. Madhubuti can evoke. His writing is raw and spiritual and blunt.
