Poetry. African American Studies. A major figure in the Black Arts Movement and a founding member of the Umbra workshop, Lorenzo Thomas is one of the most heralded authors of his generation. In this long anticipated collection, scintillating, cinematic poems synthesize the irony, absurdity and passions of American life. Blending traditional lyricism with a surrealist's touch and a realist's eye, these poems form a vivid look at the obssesions, pleasures, trials and tribulations of life on Main Street.
