As a direct descendent of the Black Arts Movement and last student of Miss Gwendolyn Brooks, Lansana explores the complicated internal and external terrain of Blackness and history from a post-King, post-Kennedy childhood through the election of the first non-White president, while grappling with the definition of home. These are poems that cry, sing, scream and see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calliope Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733647403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.35d","brand":"Quraysh Ali Lansana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36667884929180,"sku":"9781733647403","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_75ceba18-020d-48b3-80d9-318f44a5b7c8.jpg?v=1603916050","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-skin-of-dreams-new-and-collected-poems-1995-2018-9781733647403","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
