Furious Flower III Volume 3 - Pollinating and Dispersing – Black Poetry Collectives and the Diaspor

Available as part of the series Furious Flower III or as part of the 3 series compilation Furious Flower: The Complete Edition

This grouping looks at the centripetal and centrifugal forces shaping Black poetry today, both collective practices and growing ties with the poets and poetry of the world-wide African Diaspora. These eight poets speak to the underlying unity of these two tendencies – a poetry deeply rooted in the history of its people. Featuring:

• Thomas Sayers Ellis
• Patricia Smith
• Frank X Walker
• Afaa Michael Weaver
• Brenda Marie Osbey
• Kwame Dawes
• Samantha Thornhill
• Lorna Goodison
