Poems of celebration and endurance.From "I Am a Black Man"I am a Black manmy history written with bloodsome sweet songs of sorroware composed for my souland Ican be seen plowing in the fieldsCan be heardhummingin the nightIn these poems of celebration and endurance, Leonard A. Slade Jr. addresses the human need to be connected not only to the physical "now," but also to the other lives and other music we pass through during our lives. Slade's unique voice exposes the sweetness, the sorrow, and the humor of life's celebrations and struggles, but above all is the importance of love and the reliance on God and in faith for transcendence. These are poems to help us to endure, to grow, and to triumph.
