Powerful new poems from one of America's most revered poets

A collection of poems of one of America's most revered poets. Michael S. Harper is an artist and a truth teller who tempers his technical virtuosity with a compassionate and healing vision. He calls a complacent society vigorously to account while cradling the wounded and remembering the lost.

"Harper's poetry is not limited by color or attitude. In Images of Kin, Harper amazes with his keen sense of political and personal histories, his breadth of expression. This collection fixes Harper as one of the dominant poetic voices of his generation" -- Chicago Sun-Times "It is Mr. Harper's achievement to have projected his most difficult and complex insights and feelings through the epical manner, yet at the same time carried us along to identify with him." -- New York Times Book Review
