Autor Reginald Shepherd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 1995
This first collection of poems enacts the struggle of a young black gay man in his search for identity.  Many voices haunt these poems: black and white, male and female, the oppressor’s voice as well as the oppressed.  The poet’s aim, finally, is to rescue some portion of the drowned and the drowning.

Recenzii

“This poetry feels passionately truthful and his own, a gay young black man adrift between worlds, transcending the fragments of his life in song.”
--Poetry Flash

"Shepherd's poems are reckless in the best sense. Passionate, brainy, and sad, they chronicle the mysteries, small and large, of emotional and intellectual life in language that's a weird amalgam of Latinate and Anglo-Saxon, richly original and distinctively American. Reading them is like listening to a good talker on a tear. He tells secrets that might turn out to be your own."
—Chase Twichell
