Fiction Poetry
A powerful and thought-provoking Civil Rights era memoir
from one of America’s most celebrated poets.
Looking back on her childhood in the 1950s, Newbery Honor
winner and National Book Award finalist Marilyn Nelson tells
the story of her development as an artist and young woman
through fifty eye-opening poems. Readers are given an
intimate portrait of her growing self-awareness and artistic
inspiration along with a larger view of the world around
her: racial tensions, the Cold War era, and the first
stirrings of the feminist movement.
A first-person account of African-American history, this is
a book to study, discuss, and treasure.
