5.0 out of 5 stars
a must for every high school and college,
By chakula@juno.com (New Orleans, Loiusiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trouble the Water: 250 Years of African American Poetry (Paperback)
Dr. Ward's book is the best in its class since Langston Hughes' and Arna Bontemps' THE POETRY OF THE NEGRO. The volume is a must for every high school and college in the country. This book is so beautifully organized that it becomes more than a cronology of African American poetry, but a history of Blacks in the United States through poetry. Dr. Ward has left no one out who deserves to be heard, and has wisely included several brilliant, often neglected, Southern poets. If the publishers of this book realize what a goldmind it is, they would see to it that it is placed in every school and library in the country.
