Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Leonard A. Slade, Jr.'s poetry can pierce the heart or kiss the soul.' - - Kate Stephens Poet and Playwright Leonard A. Slade, Jr.'s latest collection of poems reflects the changing landscape in which we live. At times both reflective and impassioned, Nobody Knows explores racial politics, identity, love, friendship, isolation, and mortality. Combining erudition and emotion, these poems call for social consciousness while capturing quiet moments in the interior mind. These poems take us into the halls of universities, onto the streets of social movements, and into the heart of human nature. - - Khahilia Shaw J.D. Candidate 2017 Duke University School of Law Leonard A. Slade, Jr., does what important poets have done for centuries: he highlights the important elements of life, so that after reading Nobody Knows, we are inspired to be better people. Individual poems made me laugh. Others almost made me shed a tear. This is a powerful, beautiful, moving, and inspiring collection of poems. - - Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper, Ph.D. Fuller E. Callaway Professor of English, Spelman College.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Praise for Leonard A. Slade, Jr.'s 'I, Too, Am America''I, Too, Am America' is a literary statement in poetry which evokes an array of emotions while educating the reader on years of black history. Emotions are evoked as we are taught and reminded in vivid poetic terms the history of a people. And through the words we learn more about history and non-history makers, big and small, and the people who have made us and Leonard A. Slade, Jr., who we are and have helped to shape America. Interspersed within the work are individual poems paying tribute to those who have or might have played roles in Leonard A. Slade, Jr.'s maturation into one of current America's leading poets. He wrestles with themes bringing clarity and succinctness to a history which makes it more understandable as if it was an anthology. Slade has rung the bell with this volume of poetry. Raymond M. BurseFormer Rhodes ScholarOxford University in EnglandClever! A well-executed book of poems. Nikki GiovanniDistinguished Professor of EnglishVirginia Tech UniversityCarl Sandburg wrote, 'Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.' Leonard A. Slade, Jr. has set music to history. Great figures come alive and dance across history, touching the soul. This is poetry at its best - celebrating greatness. A true accomplishment. W. Maurice Shipley, Ph.D.Professor EmeritusDepartment of African American StudiesThe Ohio State UniversityLeonard A. Slade, Jr.'s 'I, Too, Am America' pays homage to 'I, Too' by Langston Hughes and then presents about eighty Americans who appear single file, beginning with Phillis Wheatley and ending with Barack Obama. Slade finds toil, enslavement, grief, faith, endurance, hope, and beauty. As Barack Obama closes the long procession, we believe 'we, too, are America.'
