Bücher von Marilyn Nelson

Using her remarkable ability to educate and inspire, Marilyn Nelson demonstrates the power of travel to transform our imaginations. We have long known that travel broadens; in these poems, it also deepens and makes wiser.

This collection of poems claims as subjects the life of the spirit, the vicissitudes of love and the African-American experience since slavery and arranges them as pebbles marking our common journey toward a "monstrous love / that wants to make the world right."
