Jimmy's blues: Selected poems

Size: 5 1/4" x 8.1" with 64 pgs. Published in Great Britain by Michael Jospeh, Ltd. The haunting poeticism and lyricism of James Baldwin's writing has often been commented upon, but this is the first selection of his poems to be published. Sometimes quiet and reflective, humorous, often violent and bitter, they echo many of the themes of his novels. A potent fury at the white continuing stranglehold of white domination is at their heart, but the racial message is leavened by warmth and wit and by his distinctive sensitivity to the rhythms and resonances of the English language.
