Fresh and clean pamphlet in good condition. Includes handwritten inscription from the author to Herschel Baker with a note. "With humor and a flexible command of language and tone, Ray Fleming moves from poems on the desperation of Californians trapped in eternal summer and poems on black parents who have abandoned their dreams, to highly epigrammatic sports poems and crystalline translations from the Italian of Diego Valeri. Black racial history is, of course, a part of Flemings emotional and intellectual equipment, showing itself in the satirical poems, "Bakkes Law, or Lateral Movement," "Academic Circles," and "Diplomatic Relations wtih America." In that poem he traces wryly the twentieth century wars in which American blacks have died "on soil as foreign as their own." Fleming is a comparatist, a linguist, and a traveler whose "foreign" poems have a particular impact. "En Gai" and "The Vikings Horn at Sogne" are just two which evoke literature and half-forgotten myth perceived through a black poetic sensibility." - Marian E. Musgrave ISBN 9780916418342 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 501. Artikel-Nr. 1236555
