Review
Wise, Why's, Y's is Amiri Baraka's (who established himself as a major literary figure in the 1960s during the Black Arts Movement) first book of poetry in more than ten years. Written in the spirit of the African Griot, Wise, Why's Y's reclaims, affirms, and comments upon the African American past through poetry. The work is a kind of voyage that charts the ebbs and flows of the African American movements. Written in epic form, Wise, Why's Y's poetically depicts the history of a people and is a landmark in the career of one of the most important African American writers of our time. --Midwest Book Review
