Komunyakaa's masterful, concise verse conjures arresting images of peace and war, the natural power of the earth and of love, his childhood in the American South and his service in Vietnam, the ugly violence of racism in America, and the meaning of power and morality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new poems in this collection add a new refrain to the jazz-inflected rhythms of one of our \"most significant and individual voices\" (David Wojahn, Poetry). Komunyakaa writes of a young man fashioning a slingshot, workers who \"honor the Earth by opening shine \/ inside the soil,\" and the sounds of a saxophone filling a dim lounge in New Jersey. As April Bernard wrote in The New York Times Book Review, \"He refuses to be trivial; and he even dares beauty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus \u0026 Giroux Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52929980858677,"sku":"EB_LI0500_A14-03_DUBAI","price":158.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9780374600136-1.jpg?v=1789400977","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ja\/products\/9780374600136","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
