" A defining, glorious, and invaluable anthology of African American poetry that reaches back to 1770 and concludes with today's artistic flourishing in sync with Black Lives Matter. Vitality, beauty, anger, sorrow, humor, and hope all find original, resonant, and consummate expression throughout this expert gathering of works by both celebrated poets and many who will be new to readers, especially women and LGBTQ poets from earlier eras, and all 250 poets are succinctly profiled. Kevin Young provides a historical and literary framework in eight chronological sections, each discussed in substantial and enlightening detail in his elegantly composed and dynamic introduction. His coverage includes pivotal creative movements, including not only the Harlem Renaissance, but also the Chicago Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, and such writing collectives as June Jordan's Poetry for the People, Cave Canem, and the Dark Room Collective. In this powerhouse anthology, African American poets are clearly in dialogue with each other across generations, sustaining community. Written under siege both obvious and insidious, their poems engage with every aspect of life while tracking the ongoing quest for equality and justice. A profound and affirming pleasure to read and an imperative resource for every public library ." -- Booklist (Starred review) "One of the U.S.'s most talented poets, Kevin Young is the perfect guide to reconstruct the American canon. His sweeping anthology of African-American poetry across U.S. history is an exhilarating collection of voices that have helped shape the country, many of whom never got their full due. By including new forms and overlooked schools, Young's anthology promises to rewrite the history of American verse." -- TIME magazine ("The 42 Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2020") "The giants are well represented in this enormous collection, including Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton, Rita Dove and Natasha Tretheway. But so are more than 200 other poets worthy of wider recognition." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ("33 Books to Read this Fall") " New Yorker poetry editor Kevin Young takes on the monumental task of condensing 250 years of African-American poetry into this must-own anthology... Discover it." --THE WEEK ("21 Books to Read this Fall") "This thousand-page collection should be required reading for all Americans." --San Francisco Chronicle, " A defining, glorious, and invaluable anthology of African American poetry that reaches back to 1770 and concludes with today's artistic flourishing in sync with Black Lives Matter.

Its blend of the personal and the political reveals the sublime power of the written word, in slavery and freedom, to inspire, to protest, and to transcend." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "This is a historic achievement. Kevin Young has given us the most expansive anthology of African American poetry to date, magnificent in its breadth and scholarly in its depth. Including the well-known and the forgotten, this astonishing collection casts the widest net possible, making it evident that so much of the center of American poetry is Black poetry. I am grateful for this book because it gives me hope: genius will survive and sing truths." --Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings "Superbly thoughtful and authoritative, this volume is an exceptional achievement. Kevin Young has rightly chosen many poets and many styles, from Phillis Wheatley to right now, in celebration of an incandescent tradition with many interwoven strands. Here is a book to teach and learn from and read and re-read, to pick through and to re-discover: a revelation even for readers who thought they knew Black poetry." --Stephanie Burt, author of Don't Read Poetry: A Book About How to Read Poems, "A defining, glorious, and invaluable anthology of African American poetry that reaches back to 1770 and concludes with today's artistic flourishing in sync with Black Lives Matter.

Synopsis
A literary landmark: the biggest, most ambitious anthology of black poetry ever published, gathering 250 poets from the colonial period to the present, A literary landmark- the biggest, most ambitious anthology of Black poetry ever published, gathering 250 poets from the colonial period to the present Across a turbulent history, from such vital centers as Harlem, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the Bay Area, Black poets created a rich and multifaceted tradition that has been both a reckoning with American realities and an imaginative response to them. Capturing the power and beauty of this diverse tradition in a single indispensable volume, African American Poetry reveals as never before its centrality and its challenge to American poetry and culture. One of the great American art forms, African American poetry encompasses many kinds of verse- formal, experimental, vernacular, lyric, and protest. The anthology opens with moving testaments to the power of poetry as a means of self-assertion, as enslaved people like Phillis Wheatley and George Moses Horton and activist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper voice their passionate resistance to slavery. Young's fresh, revelatory presentation of the Harlem Renaissance reexamines the achievements of Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen alongside works by lesser-known poets such as Gwendolyn B. Bennett and Mae V. Cowdery. The later flowering of the still influential Black Arts Movement is represented here with breadth and originality, including many long out-of-print or hard-to-find poems. Here are all the significant movements and currents- the nineteenth-century Francophone poets known as Les Cenelles, the Chicago Renaissance that flourished around Gwendolyn Brooks, the early 1960s Umbra group, and the more recent work of writers affiliated with Cave Canem and the Dark Room Collective. Here too are poems of singular, hard-to-classify figures- the enslaved potter David Drake, the allusive modernist Melvin B. Tolson, the Cleveland-based experimentalist Russell Atkins. This Library of America volume also features biographies of each poet and notes that illuminate cultural references and allusions to historical events., A literary landmark: the biggest, most ambitious anthology of Black poetry ever published, gathering 250 poets from the colonial period to the present Across a turbulent history, from such vital centers as Harlem, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the Bay Area, Black poets created a rich and multifaceted tradition that has been both a reckoning with American realities and an imaginative response to them.
