Extraordinary Measures by Lorenzo Thomas
African American poetry exhibits an impressive range of style and substance, in all its forms. This history of the genre offers a critical reassessment of its development in the 20th century, within the contexts of modernism and the troubled racial history of the United States.
Lorenzo Thomas is an internationally acclaimed poet, critic, and professor of English at the University of Houston. Born in Panama, Thomas became a founding member of the Umbra workshop and an important part of the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s. His books of poetry include Chances are Few, The Bathers, and Sound Science. He is the recipient of two Poets Foundation awards and the Lucille Medwick Prize.
