- Notes:
- "This anthology comprises an assemblage of poems by fifty-seven unpublished, or infrequently published, blacks who came of age, literally and psychologically, during the horrendous American sixties. At its core is the belief that we must listen to these hard, bright, young voices as they take the English language, embellish it, cuff it, and make it their very own."--Cover.
