In this bestselling companion to her pioneering study, Invisible Poets, Joan Sherman continues to make new generations aware of the "invisible" legacy of nineteenth-century black American poetry. The 171 poems here, by thirty-five men and women, have been transcribed from first editions and are annotated in detail.
"Ever since Invisible Poets we have needed an informed and comprehensive anthology of African-American poetry in the nineteenth century. Now we have it. No one but Sherman could have done the job so well."--William L. Andrews, author of To Tell a Free Story
