Beschreibung

Thunder's Mouth Press. New York. 1989. 155 pages. First edition, first printing. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Black paper-cover boards quarter-bound in copper cloth; titles stamped in gilt. Black endpapers. Original DJ with $19.95 price intact on flap. Most faint, scant foxing (barely) on top page edges. One corner gently pushed; otherwise about fine. DJ is bright and clean. Minimal, faint sunning; barely. Henry Dumas, a man referred to as "an absolute genius" by Nobel laureate, Toni Morrison, has long flown under the radar; yet his seminal contribution to the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s is unquestioned. Dumas' poetry blends aspects of the American South, gritty urban America, and ancient Africa. Considered one of the most original black voices of the 1960's, his life was tragically cut short in a case of mistaken identity, at the hands of a transit officer on the platform of a Harlem subway station in 1968. Dumas was only 33 years old at the time of his death. A very attractive copy of the Dumas' uncommon classic; about NF with flaws noted. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003275
