Branches of the Tree of Life, The Collected Poems of Abiodun Oyewole, 1969-2013

Descrizione prodotto

BRANCHES OF THE TREE OF LIFE is the first comprehensive volume of poems by Last Poets’ Abiodun Oyewole, many of them never before published. Oyewole’s poems are powerful, often political, always lyrical and profoundly moving. Oyewole is one of several poets credited for liberating American poetry by creating open, vocal, spontaneous, energetic and uncensored vernacular verse that paved the way for spoken word and Hip Hop. Using the spiritual, the sacred and the mystical, Oyewole often turns to the tree as a symbol of change and growth. BRANCHES OF THE TREE OF LIFE is a living testament to a stunning career that confirms Abiodun Oyewole’s place at the forefront of poetic achievement. Edited by Gabrielle David, with an Introduction by Betty J. Dopson.
