Note(s) : "This new collection presents James Baldwin the poet, including all nineteen poems
from Jimmy's Blues, as well as all the poems from a limited-edition volume called
Gypsy, of which only 325 copies were ever printed and which was in production at the
time of his death. Known for his relentless honesty and startlingly prophetic insights
on issues of race, gender, class, and poverty, Baldwin is just as enlightening and
bold in his poetry as in his famous novels and essays. The poems range from the extended
dramatic narratives of 'Staggerlee wonders' and 'Gypsy' to the lyrical beauty of 'Some
days,' which has been set to music and interpreted by such acclaimed artists as Audra
McDonald. Nikky Finney's introductory essay reveals the importance, relevance, and
rich rewards of these little-known works"--Jacket
