Descripción

First Edition in wraps. VG+ (soiling and light wear each with a touch of rubbing.). A posthumously-published book of poetry edited by Eugene B. Redmond, Dumas s colleague at Southern Illinois University. Dumas "identified with the black power movement during his lifetime [and] was also active in the civil rights movement. At the age of 33, Dumas was shot and killed by a New York City Transit policeman in a case of mistaken identity" (www.poetryfoundation.org). Toni Morrison, author of The Bluest Eye and an editor at Random House at the time of Dumas s death, championed Dumas s work, even organizing a book release event "with a glamorous guest list comprising the most renowned black writers of the time," commenting in an announcement for the book launch party, "in those thirty-three years he had completed work the quality and quantity of which are almost never achieved in several lifetimes" (see the story on Dumas at www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch). N° de ref. del artículo 1055
