A review by krista
The Vintage Book of African American Poetry by Anthony Walton, Michael S. Harper

I'm leaving this un-starred because it feels weird to me to "rate" a historical anthology of poetry. Some of the poems viscerally moved me and some of them I don't connect with, but that has been my experience with poetry in general. I'm glad this book exists and that [a:Bunmi Laditan|6970274|Bunmi Laditan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1365792603p2/6970274.jpg] of "Honest Toddler" fame recommended it on Twitter. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Paul Laurence Dunbar and Georgia Douglas Johnson.
