August Darnell And The Creole Perplex
Carol Cooper, The Village Voice, 27 July 1982
"The dominant feeling of the black poet is one of malaise, better still of intolerance. Intolerance of reality because it is sordid, of the world because it is a cage, of life because it has been stolen on the high road of the sun."
— Aime Cesare, ‘Introduction à la poésie negre américain’ (Tropics # 2, 1941).
