The Fields of Praise by Marilyn Nelson
This collection of poems claims as subjects the life of the spirit, the vicissitudes of love and the African-American experience since slavery and arranges them as pebbles marking our common journey toward a "monstrous love / that wants to make the world right."
Marilyn Nelson's other poetry titles include Magnificat, Mama's Promises, and The Homeplace, a finalist for the National Book Award. A recipient of the Annisfield-Wolf Award, she is professor emerita of English at the University of Connecticut at Storrs and a member of the Board of Chancellors of the Academy of American Poets.
