Review

"I am particularly grateful (as we should all be) to Melvin Dixon... [for] his graceful translation of Senghor's complete works." -- K. Anthony Appiah, Washington Post Book World

"[Dixon] preserves Senghor's lyricism and re-creates the textual sensuality of the original language." -- Choice
