Memories & Images: Selected Poems, Volume 82"The poems in this collection were written between 1965 and 1984. Many of the poems were written during the turbulent sixties when, like many Black poets, I was inspired by the Black Arts Movement. These Black poets, my self included, felt that Black poetry should raise the consciousness of Black people to stand firm against the tyranny of racial strife and injustice. In this regard, most of these poems are fundamentally political in scope; yet I hope they convey some insight about the human condition."--Preface, page ix. |
