Musician, painter, printer, sculptor and maturing poet, Jones sustained the experience which made both these images and this text nece...

The illustrations in this edition attempt to recapture Chaucer's mature vision of the noble life, which refuses to deny the tragic aspects of the chivalric equation of love with war and war with honor.

The hauntings of the past come alive with echoes of unclaimed history. The poems in this collection simultaneously affirm and inspect black identity -- and identity in general. These are the poems of the bitter/sweet taste on the tongues of exiles searching for home.
