Recensione:
"These poets protect the softer, more mindful core of nerves--the synapses that compute the flow of electricity between poem and poetry audience--adding to the whole story we adore as verse."
--MIGUEL ALGARíN
Founder and Director
The Nuyorican Poets Café
"Listening to the new poets, will we ever be the same? This anthology has a stake in freedom, is a proclamation for poetics. Zoë Anglesey is a literary abolitionist--she breaks through the barriers that separate us from the new poetry."
--E. ETHELBERT MILLER
Director,
African American Resource Center,
Howard University
