"The death of Henry Dumas was violent, tragic, and wrong. But it is his life, as revealed in these poems, that commands our attention. Sweet Home, Arkansas, the place of his birth, is here in the pristine blues poem 'Knees of a natural man.' Harlem, where he later lived, is here in 'Mosaic Harlem.' And the philosophy and passion that come from being in touch with the whole universe are here as well in 'Genesis on an endless mosaic.' Then there are the love poems--acid, sensual, intense. Here is a poet of both the mind and the flesh, whose boldness is the consequence of certainty and whose restraint has the touch of a master at the reins"--From back cover.

African futurism, gothic romance, ghost story, parable, psychological thriller, inner-space fiction—Dumas’s stories form a vivid, expansive portrait of Black life in America. Henry Dumas’s fabulist fiction is a masterful synthesis of myth and religion, culture and nature, mask and identity, the present and the ancestral. From the Deep South to the simmering streets of Harlem, his characters embark on real, magical, and mythic quests. Humming with life, Dumas’s stories create a collage of mid-twentieth-century Black experiences, interweaving religious metaphor, African cosmologies, diasporic folklore, and America’s history of slavery and systemic racism.
