Among them are Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Jupiter Hammon, Langston Hughes, and Jean Toomer; Gwendolyn Brooks, Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Ishmael Reed, Bob Kaufman, Etheridge Knight, and many others. Those from the West Indies/the Caribbean focus on anti-colonial struggles, and rhythm of the islands with selections from Claude McKay, and Andrew Salkey (Jamaica); Edward Kamau Brathwaite (Barbados); : Martin Carter (Guyana) and Derek Walcott (Saint Lucia) and more.
