Publisher's Note
In the 1920s, African-American poets living in Harlem used words to make a revolution. Their groundbreaking poetry not only reshaped American literature but redefined what it meant to be African American. This book is both an anthology of some of the best writing of our time and a witty guide that shows readers the beauties and the truths of those who were born in those splendid Harlem days.

Industry reviews
"While the attitude and approach is essentially adult (and familiarity with most of the writers featured seems to be assumed), this picture of a thriving and creative group will give teens a fuller understanding of a cultural movement."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (06/19/1996)

"Although the connection of some of these poems to the Harlem Renaissance may seem tenuous, this collection is a great read for all poetry lovers!"
Voya - Carol Buchanan (10/19/1996)

"This is a fine collection whatever the need: for poetry shelves, black history collections, social consciousness-raising sessions, cultural literacy courses--or for anyone who likes the sight of words that shimmy shimmy shimmy on the page."
Fakolt
