Product Description
African-American poetry is an ever-growing and ever-changing art form... in coffee houses and night clubs... from the blues and be-bop, to rap and hip-hop. Catch the Fire!!! is more than a poetry anthology. It is a cultural event: the indroduction of a new generation of African-American poets by an established generation, and a celebration of contemporary African-American poetry. Through the themes of family, the city, revolution, the body, and the soul, June Jordan, Amiri Baraka, Abiodun Oyewole (of the Last Poets), Ntozake Shange, and Sonia Sanchez discuss their own generation of poets and their thoughts about the emerging poets whose poems they are presenting here.

• A Must Have For All Aspiring Poets 15 April, 1999
I am a 19 year old aspiring writer, and I heard Derrick Gilbert speak at my school, the man not only has a phenomenal voice, but a flare to make all the words seem like they are directed towards you. I read "Catch the Fire" and the book gave me a whole new outlook on poetry as I knew it, and now i can't put my pen down. This book reflects on many everyday issues and would make excellant discussion topics!!! I think that the book should be sold on more bookshelves for better visibility and I think that everyone who likes poetry should read this, it changed me, it could do the same for you!
