Docuseek for Public Libraries | Furious Flower III - volume 3 - Pollinating and Dispersing – Black Poetry Collectives and the Diaspora

Available as part of the series Furious Flower III or as part of the 3 series compilation Furious Flower: The Complete Edition

This grouping looks at the centripetal and centrifugal forces shaping Black poetry today, both collective practices and growing ties with the poets and poetry of the world-wide African Diaspora. These eight poets speak to the underlying unity of these two tendencies – a poetry deeply rooted in the history of its people. Featuring:

Thomas Sayers Ellis
Patricia Smith
Frank X Walker
Afaa Michael Weaver
Brenda Marie Osbey
Kwame Dawes
Samantha Thornhill
Lorna Goodison
