Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande
by Jimmy Santiago Baca
New poetry by the Champion of the International Poetry Slam and winner of the Before Columbus American Book Award, the International Hispanic Heritage Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the prestigious new International Award. A romantic and a populist, Jimmy Santiago Baca celebrates nature and creativity: the power of "becoming more the river than myself" in Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande . These poems are an expansive meditation on Baca's spiritual life, punctuated always with his feet—repeatedly, rhythmically—on the ground as he runs every morning along the river. Baca contemplates his old life, his new love, his family and friends, those living and those dead, injustices and victories, and Chicano culture. As Denise Levertov remarked, Baca "writes with unconcealed passion" and "manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythical and archetypal significance of life events.
Harlem Gallery and Other Poems of Melvin B. Tolson
by Raymond Nelson
The poet Melvin B. Tolson (1898-1966) was once recognized as one of black America's most important modernist voices. Playful, fluent, and intellectually sophisticated, his poems stirred up significant praise, and some lively criticism, during his lifetime but have been out of print for decades and essentially left out of the literary canon. With the publication of this first complete collection of his work, Tolson can finally be given his proper place in American poetry. This volume brings together Tolson's three books of poetry -- Rendezvous with America (1944), Libretto for the Republic of Liberia (1953), and Harlem Gallery (1965) -- as well as fugitive poems after 1944. His work has at times been controversial because of his historical and intellectual subject matter and his commitment to the priorities of art over the imperatives of politics. However, a fresh reading of his challenging masterpiece Harlem Gallery, a poem in twenty-four cantos, reveals an urgent meditation on the plight of the black artist in a white society and a concern with social justice that locates Tolson in the mainstream of African American writing. Such powerful themes, and his range of tone and mesmerizing imagery, have won Tolson a growing number of enthusiastic admirers, who place him alongside such legendary black poets as Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Robert Hayden. Although his peers Hughes and Countee Cullen are associated with the Harlem Renaissance, Melvin B. Tolson has not been identified with any particular movement, and his legacy in American literature has been elusive. This book, enhanced by a moving introduction by Rita Dove and useful notes by Raymond Nelson, provides the textfor a renewed appreciation of one of the great talents in African American poetry.
