Dancing on Main Street : poems
"There is a quality to Thomas' poetry that makes one want to read it aloud and drink in the sound...short pithy lines roll off the tongue and captivate the ear."--Houston Chronicle A major figure in the Black Arts Movement and a founding member of the Umbra workshop, Lorenzo Thomas is one of the most heralded authors of his generation. Dancing on Main Street, Thomas's long-awaited collection spanning many decades of his career, blends traditional lyricism with a surrealist's touch and a realist's eye. Together these poems form a cinematic look at the obsessions, pleasures, trials, and tribulations of life on Main Street. -- from publisher
