From a renowned African American poet, a new book of poems of celebration and loss for readers of all ages This new volume by the much-loved poet Sonia Sanchez is music to the ears: a collection of haiku that celebrates the gifts of life and mourns the deaths of revered African American figures in the worlds of music, art, and activism. Often arranged in strings of twelve or more, the poems flow one into the other in a steady song. Sometimes deceptively simple, her lyrics contain a very powerful load of emotion and meaning.
Sanchez is innovative, composing some haiku in new forms, including a section of two-line poems, powerful verses that reflect on the long wake of 9/11. In a closing essay, Sanchez explains her love for haiku and makes the compelling case for its special relevance in the twenty-first century.
