Description
Long Rain is a thought-provoking collection of poetry and prose that explores the elements of nature through the lens of African-American experience. Lenard D. Moore draws upon traditional Japanese forms to create a unique voice, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
The book's four sections - Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water - serve as a framework for Moore's exploration of identity, community, and the search for meaning in America. Through his masterful use of language and form, Moore offers a powerful meditation on the Black experience, one that is both quietly defiant and profoundly observant.
With its concise yet powerful poems and haibun prose, Long Rain is a compelling addition to any poetry collection or library. This is a book that will resonate with readers who appreciate innovative and thought-provoking verse.
