Description
One of the most important poets of his generation Washington Post
A richly evocative and moving collection about African American identity and history, this is an ode to home places and the dearly departed, and to what of them – of us – poetry can save.
In bellowing declarations of suffering and whispered prayers of faith, Night Watch speaks to an inner history which is compelling and authentic and deeply American, rippling with timely and devastating truths about the insidious nature of the American nation.
Keeping up with him is like trying to keep up with Bob Dylan or Prince in their primes New York Times
