Kamau Brathwaite, who won the 1994 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, has revised his celebrated 1979 Casa de las Americas collection,Ā Black + Blues, for its first edition by a U.S. publisher. A rich, arid, beautiful collection,Ā Black + BluesĀ is cast in three parts ā āFragments,ā āDrought,ā and āFlowers.ā In Brathwaiteās voice, asĀ The Beloit Poetry JournalĀ noted, āthe false distinctions between poetry and polemic, between tragic vision and comic insight, between anger and tenderness, here disappear. At last a major poet of our troubled history and troubling time is available to readers in this country.ā āHis dazzling, inventive language, his tragic yet unquenchable vision,ā as Adrienne Rich declared, āmake Kamau Brathwaite one of the most compelling of late 20th century poets.ā
