"[S]atisfies in every way."-- School Library Journal "Nothing short of breathtaking."-- Parents Magazine "[T]he most ambitious attempt to bring poetry to children. . ."-- Los Angeles Times, "From Phillis Wheatley's 'On Being Brought from Africa to America' to Maya Angelou's 'Caged Bird' and Langston Hughes' 'My People,' the 34 poems in this large, handsome volume in the Poetry for Young People series introduces readers to great African American poets over the last 200 years. In a long introduction, Rampersad provides an excellent overview that weaves together historical details with examples from individual poems. On each following spread, 'contextual notes' with a brief biography accompany each poem. The soft-toned mixed-media artwork includes many city and rural scenes as well as stylized figures whose expressive body language captures the mood of the poems. In fact, the illustrations and sophisticated commentary will appeal to adults, too. A strong title for talking about in the classroom and at home." -- Booklist , "From Phillis Wheatley's 'On Being Brought from Africa to America' to Maya Angelou's 'Caged Bird' and Langston Hughes' 'My People,' the 34 poems in this large, handsome volume in the Poetry for Young People series introduces readers to great African American poets over the last 200 years.

A four-page introduction outlines historical periods and influences. Presented chronologically, the entries begin with a paragraph describing the poet's life and work. Paul Laurence Dunbar, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Lucille Clifton, Maya Angelou, and others are joined by George Moses Horton, Mae V. Cowdery, Carolyn M. Rodgers, and others. A small glossary appears at the end of each poem. Barbour mixes a bit of collage with watercolor in spare drawings that meld folk and contemporary graphic elements. Stylized human figures are elongated and flat, most with large eyes but distinctive in character. They appear in side panels, vignettes, or full pages that are sometimes washed in soft color and other times set on white with no background. This elegant book nicely melds an overview of African American history, an introduction to these notable writers, and a bit of explanation of some poetry forms. It offers many uses in classrooms and libraries and is likely to be treasured by teens and adults perhaps even more than older children. Though only one or two selections represent the work of each poet, readers will find this a rich compendium in the inviting guise of a picture book." - School Library Journal , "From Phillis Wheatley's 'On Being Brought from Africa to America' to Maya Angelou's 'Caged Bird' and Langston Hughes' 'My People,' the 34 poems in this large, handsome volume in the Poetry for Young People series introduces readers to great African American poets over the last 200 years.
