This review is from: Dawnsong!: The Epic Memory of Askia Toure (English and English Edition) (Paperback)
Amazing. Askia is eloquent and well versed in matters relating to Africans throughout the diaspora. His life's breath comes through his poetry and leaves readers captivated. His words provoke thought and emotion. A true gem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some important reviews of this work, March 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dawnsong!: The Epic Memory of Askia Toure (English and English Edition) (Paperback)
"Toure must be seen as the one poet and activist... who has developed his craft to the deepest reflection of the ground-breaking research with which Afrocentric scholars are focusing on ancient Africa." -- Patricia Hill, Gen. Editor, Call and Response

"Askia M. Touré ... has continued to combine his passion for poetry and his zeal for a politics of Black sociocultural empowerment in the tradition of Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks and in a way that few 'community poets' (griots) have been able to realize as successfully." -- James W. Richardson, Jr., The Oxford Companion to African American Litterature

"Poets like Larry Neal and Askia Touré were, in my mind, new masters of the new black poetry... Askia had the song-like cast to his words, as if the poetry was actually meant to be sung." -- Amiri Baraka, poet, dramatist
