GroundWork: New and Selected Poems
Don L. Lee / Haki R. Madhubuti
from 1966 - 1996

From inside front cover:

GroundWork: New and Selected Poems is a political, yet artistic collection of thirty years of transformational poetry. It reflects the growth of Don L. Lee / Haki R. Madhubuti and of Black America as a whole. Madhubuti's early poetry embodies the bold energy of the 1960s Black Arts and Black Power Movements, while later equally progressive work looks confidently forward to new horizons and challenges.
Madhubuti is a visionary whose poetry is neither compromised by empty rhetoric nor impotent images and metaphors. His is the sane voice of a poet who is well-acquainted with the pain of his people and with the happiness that hardwork promises the determined struggler. For more than thirty years he has been at the forefront of the African American quest for freedom. GroundWork is a product of his dedication and wisdom.
