What I Say

Innovative Poetry by Black Writers in America

Edited by Aldon Lynn Nielsen and Lauri Ramey; Preface by Aldon Lynn Nielsen and Lauri Ramey; Introduction by C. S. Giscombe
University of Alabama Press

What I Say is the second book in a landmark two-volume anthology that explodes narrow definitions of African American poetry by examining experimental poems often excluded from previous scholarship. The first volume, Every Goodbye Ain’t Gone, covers the period from the end of World War II to the mid-1970s. In What I Say, editors Aldon Lynn Nielsen and Lauri Ramey have assembled a comprehensive and dynamic collection that brings this pivotal work up to the present day.
