More copies of this ISBN:Neon Vernacularby Yusef Komunyakaa
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"This collection is comprised of poems from seven of Komunyakaa's previous collections. A master at interweaving memory and history to shape his experiences into narratives, Komunyakaa enriches his poems with details." Library Journal Review:"Quite simply, Komunyakaa is one of the most extraordinary poets writing today...He takes on the most complex moral issues, the most harrowing ugly subjects of our American life. His voice, whether it embodies the specific experiences of a black man, a soldier in Vietnam, or a child in Bogalusa, Louisiana, is universal. It shows us in ever deeper ways what it is to be human." Toi Derricotte, Kenyon Review Review:"Yusef Komunyakaa is a poet whose work, over ten years and many books, continues to grow in complexity and beauty. Neon Vernacular includes some of the best Vietnam testimony, in verse or prose, that I've ever read. Komunyakaa's whole oeuvre explores and re/members the double consciousness at work in the construction of African-American male identity." Marilyn Hacker, The Nation Synopsis:A collection of poems from the author's earlier books combined with a dozen new poems interweave memory and history.
