Poet, novelist, essayist, editor, anthologist, lexicographer and painter, Clarence Major is one of the most challenging, prolific, yet underappreciated contemporary African-American artists. This collection combines poetry, prose and art by Major with critical essays that showcase his aesthetic movement across literary, cultural and political boundaries, and illuminates the complex relationship between his writing and painting. Although Major's artistic vision is grounded in the historical experiences of black and Native American peoples, he experiments with crossing boundaries of all types. His use of different narrative voices is evidence of what editor Bernard Bell calls Major's ""double consciousness"" as an African-American artist. This collection highlights the breadth of Major's work, his transformation into a postmodern artist, and the hybrid voices of his literary and visual productions.
