Description
BLUES IN ALL HUES is the debut poetry collection of Amina Baraka. Echoing shades of the blues imbued in social and political consciousness, this stunning volume of 123 poems represents more than forty years of Baraka's work. From slavery, racism, imperialism, women's rights, gay rights; to personal poems that are a celebratory excursion of self, BLUES IN ALL HUES digs deep into the marrow of Baraka's being. As the book progresses, readers will find poems intermingled with stories about family members, musicians, poets, artists, activists and the unnamed workers that Baraka holds close to her heart. Written in free verse these lyric poems, which are filled with metaphors and double-entendres, intimately connects readers to an authentic American poetry, making BLUES IN ALL HUES a must read for poets and activists alike.
