Summary note
A collection of poetry echoes many of the themes and lyricism of Baldwin's essays and novels.
"Known for his relentless honesty and startlingly prophetic insights on issues of race, gender, class, and poverty, Baldwin is just as enlightening and bold in his poetry as in his famous novels and essays. The poems range from the extended dramatic narratives of "Staggerlee wonders" to the lyrical beauty of "Some days," which has been set to music and interpreted by such acclaimed artists as Audra McDonald"--Adapted from Amazon.com.
