Seller's Description:
No Jacket. New York. 1994. High Risk Books/Serpent's Tail. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 1852423277. 175 pages. paperback. keywords: African American Literature America Women. DESCRIPTION-Sapphire is one of the most impassioned voices in African-American literature today. In American Dreams, Sapphire explores the raw edges that circumscribe urban life. The wilding incident in Central Park; the shooting of fifteen-year-old Latosha Harlins by a Korean grocer; the vicious cycle of family violence; the prospect of escaping one's fate by choosing art over madness, solitude over dependency, and spiritual renewal over addiction — these are the subjects explored in this astonishingly honest book. Sapphire invests strength and sensuality in poetry an`d prose that enlighten as they challenge contemporary perceptions of what American dreams really mean. inventory #23373.
