About This Item
Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 2002 University of Illinois Press, Urbana, IL. 2002. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Inscribed by the editor on the half title page. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Black cloth boards and spine with bright blue lettering on the spine. 275 pp 8vo. This book collects for the first time all of Frank Marshall Davis's extant published poems as well as his known previously unpublished work. This volume recovers the rich variety of Davis's poetic expression, much of it informed by his political convictions and by his multifaceted work as a journalist. The editor examines both Davis's poetry and his politics, presenting a subtle portrait of a complex writer devoted to exposing discriminatory practices and reaffirming the humanity of the common people. A clean very presentable copy.
