Boston. 1970. Houghton Mifflin. Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. Paperback Original . 142 pages. paperback. keywords: Poetry Anthology Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Among the very first modern anthologies of newer African-American poetry, DICES OR BLACK BONES received the California Teachers of English Award for Best Anthology, 1970. This book was precedent setting in several ways. The editor was allowed to control the illustrator and thereby control the cover image, important at the time because so many contemporary publications then used lurid and often violent imagery to depict African-American experiences. DICES, instead, used art that expressed an African sensibility in keeping with the spirit of the movement-era of the early 1970s. The book premiered poetry by several of the younger Black writers who later became well-known: Al Young, Lucille Clifton, Ishmael Reed, Etheridge Knight, Victor Hernandez Cruz, David Henderson, Conyus, and… Read More

Tape-Marks on Endpapers and Boards, Otherwise Good in Dustjacket with Tear Mark at Bottom Spine . 0818005293. Bibliography. 125 pages. hardcover. Jacket Design by Janie Russell. keywords: Caribbean Poetry Anthology. FROM THE PUBLISHER - LEopold SEdar Senghor, AimE CEsaire, and LEon Damas are the major subjects of the collection of the poetry of NEgritude as it developed among Afro-French writers. NEgritude is defined here as the totality of black experience, for example, CEsaire's realization that he could not deny his relationship with even the humblest black man because they were bound in a common experience. The poetry contained in this book is part of the rootage of more recent expressions of black awareness. These poets wrote out of their own experience, shaping the French idiom to their own purposes. Edward A. Jones has written a brief introduction to the work of each of these three poets… Read More
