Front Cover
Third World Press, 1992 - Poetry - 78 pages
Poet Brian Gilmore has brought forth a collection that is truly original. His writing is both mischievous and militant. Gilmore covers serious issues with a sarcastic humor and shifts to gentle passion in his love poems. In Elvis, Gilmore speaks to stealing, bigotry, and the exploitation of Black people with a sense of style that is politically keen. --Third World Press.
