Summary: Soul Looks Back In Wonder
Comment: This is a lavishly illustrated collection of poetry aimed at African American young adults. The Amazon age range seems to be a bit low (4-8)- I would suggest 10 and up. As Tom Feelings states: "too many teenagers are growing up in an environment where indifference and hostility are bullets aimed straight at the core of their spirits. One way to project our positive hopes for the future is for young people to see their own beauty reflected in our eyes, through our work. And so this book is for our precious young African sisters and brothers, who are our today and our tomorrow." All of the artwork is by Tom Feelings, and the poets featured are: Maya Angelou, Lucille Clifton, Alexis De Veaux, Mari Evans, Darryl Holmes, Langston Hughes, Rashidah Ismaili, Haki R. Madhubuti, Walter Dean Myers, Mwatabu Okantah, Eugene B. Redmond, Askia M. Toure and Margaret Walker. There are also brief biographies of each of the poets. This is a beautifully illustrated poetry book. The poetry stresses the beauty and power of African Americans, and it is well reflected in the illustrations. This book would be excellent to use in a poetry study, or as part of a study of black history. The short length of this book, along with the excellent illustrations, make it a great choice to use as an introduction to poetry.
