I Am the Darker Brother: An
Anthology of Modern Poems by African Americans
by Arnold Adoff
From Booklist Gr. 7 and up. Nearly 30 years
after poet and anthologist Adoff first published his classic core collection
of black poetry, this new edition has been expanded to include 21 additional
poets, 10 of them women. In a celebratory after word, Adoff remembers how he
collected those first poems into a book in 1968 so that he could present to
his students, of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, "the complete vision of
an American literature."
I loved this book, it made me proud to be an
African American. It makes you realize that the things you see on TV and the
news are covering up the talent and greatness of African Americans. There
are poems by various poets, all of them are great!
