A scarce volume from Dudley Randall's Broadside Press, being the poet's first collection that was initially self-published. From the early 1960s-on, Broadside was a vital outlet for African American poets cultivated by Randall to express a Black aesthetic - vernacular but not sloppy, eschewing all that is false in pursuit of expression of the Black experience. According to Giovanni, “Broadside was neither mother nor father of the poetry movement, but it was certainly midwife."
