Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Raised in New York City by West Indian grandparents, Primus St. John absorbed a deep sense of family and social history — two recurrent themes throughout his poetry. Stylistically wide-ranging, Communion is, quite simply, St. John's breakout collection. It gathers poems from three out-of-print volumes together with the long, chilling narrative, "Dreamer, " which explores our heritage of slavery and the notorious Middle Passage.<P>"These poems are full of surprise; the narratives collapse and sing, the lyrics rise and fall; spoken utterance sings; plain epistles dive into nature, rise in transcendence ..." Michael Harper
