About this Item

First edition. Small spot on the foredge else fine in fine dust jacket. Nicely Inscribed by the author: "For Bob Lamb With best wishes to a new friend of the poetry and the poet Sterling A Brown November, 1980." Brown was a successful poet during the Harlem Renaissance, largely based on his 1932 volume of poetry *Southern Road*. Despite that success he found it nearly impossible to secure a publisher for his subsequent work until late in his life. He spent much of his life teaching writing at Howard, Lincoln, and Fisk Universities. Among his students were Toni Morrison, Amiri Baraka, and Kwame Toure. He was also active in Civil Rights work and an advisor to the NAACP. An important book by a much-overlooked Harlem Renaissance poet. Seller Inventory # 590466
