While we learn a great deal about ancient Greece from writers like Homer, Aristophanes, and Sappho, Raffel goes on to say, our picture is sadly incomplete until we read the poetry of such lesser-known greats as Alkaios, Callimachos, and Simonides.

Complete Poems
Author: Claude McKay
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252028823
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Containing more than three hundred poems, including nearly a hundred previously unpublished works, this unique collection showcases the intellectual range of Claude McKay (1889-1948), the Jamaican-born poet and novelist whose life and work were marked by restless travel and steadfast social protest. McKay's first poems were composed in rural Jamaican creole and launched his lifelong commitment to representing everyday black culture from the bottom up. Migrating to New York, he reinvigorated the English sonnet and helped spark the Harlem Renaissance with poems such as "If We Must Die." After coming under scrutiny for his communism, he traveled throughout Europe and North Africa for twelve years and returned to Harlem in 1934, having denounced Stalin's Soviet Union. By then, McKay's pristine "violent sonnets" were giving way to confessional lyrics informed by his newfound Catholicism. McKay's verse eludes easy definition, yet this complete anthology, vividly introduced and carefully annotated by William J. Maxwell, acquaints readers with the full transnational evolution of a major voice in twentieth-century poetry.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 366

Category : Poetry

Book Description
Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784) was an American freed slave and poet who wrote the first book of poetry by an African-American.

Her works garnered acclaim in both England and the colonies and she became the first African American to make a living as a poet.
