Description:
This stunning collection pairs 20 poems by distinguished African-American poets with 20 works of art by acclaimed African-American artists, in a way that has never been done before. Poets and artists span the 19th century through the present. Among them are Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, Rita Dove, Countee Cullen, Jacob Lawrence, and Romare Bearden. African-American identity and history are powerfully evoked in art and poetry about slavery, racism, and black pride. But African-American poetry and art have no boundaries, and these poets and artists explore many other themes as well that will touch your heart and dazzle your eyes.
