Industry Reviews

"From her poet's craft bursts a whole gallery of wholly alive persons...Many a novelist cannot do so well in ten times the space."--Christian Science Monitor
"Miss Brooks has a very fine talent. . . a faculty which is becoming rare in contemporary poetry: an interest not merely in her own responses, but in other people as well."--Paul Engle
"More than any other nationally acclaimed writer, Brooks has remained in touch with the community she writes about."--Washington Post
"Probably the finest black poet of the post-Harlem generation."--Robert F. Kiernan
"When Miss Brooks. . . writes out of her heart, out of her rich and living background, out of her very real talent, then she induces almost unbearable excitement."--New York Times
