Talk Yuh Talk: Interviews with Anglophone Caribbean Poets
ISBN: 9780813919454 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Before the Caribbean-inflected spoken-word poetry of the 1990s, epitomized by poetry slams at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in Manhattan, there was reggae.

The poems in Rice compose a profound and unflinching journey connecting family and the paradoxes of American history, from the tragic times when African slaves disembarked on the South Carolina coast to the triumphant...
