Description

Nikki Grimes presents an emotional and thought-provoking collection of poetry inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. Using "The Golden Shovel" poetic method, she creates wholly original poems based on the works of master poets from this era.

Each poem is paired with full-color, original art from today's most exciting African-American illustrators, including Pat Cummings, Brian Pinkney, Sean Qualls, James Ransome, Javaka Steptoe, and many more. This unique combination brings a fresh perspective to the history of the Harlem Renaissance.

A foreword, introduction to the history of the Harlem Renaissance, author's note, poet biographies, and index make this book not only a treasured read but also a valuable resource for learning about this significant period in American history.
