Healing Song for the Inner Ear: Poems

"Harper's is a poetry of classically unadorned statement, a direct, unflinching record of a man alive in his time. When he is at his best, in both his public and his private voice, he creates a language humming with emotion and ennobled by a deeply felt human dignity." -- Virginia Quarterly Review ". . . one of the finest poets of our time." -- San Francisco Examiner &amp; Chronicle

Dear John, Dear Coltrane (Poetry from Illinois)

Michael Harper writes out of the fire of the African American experience. The people and places of his life become something that is uniquely his own--yet he transforms them into something irreplaceable and powerful and perfect for the reader as well.
