I‘ve read poems by LKJ before but they‘ll always punch you in the gut. This edition has some great footnotes giving context which is important we don‘t forget, although if the violence experienced by African-Americans by cops is anything to go by - today - we are poor and have learnt nothing as a human race.
This book, which should be history, and remains as current as the days in which it was written (1960s/1970s).
