About this book

"The South: to render all that it means to an African American takes someone with acutely tuned senses, someone with a patience, a passion even, for the region's history and contradictions. It takes a poet. In this new anthology, the first of its kind, more than one hundred contemporary Black poets laugh at and cry about, pray for and curse, flee and return to the South"--Page 4 of cover.
