                  <text>BIBLIOGRAPHY
This bibliography is designed to serve the needs of
beginning and advanced students of Black Poetry.

It is not

intended to be exhaustive since many bibliographies repeat
the same items.

No attempt bas been made to cite the count-

less single collections of poems because numerous checklists
and specialized bibliographies are available.

Moreover,

most anthologies, critical studies and histories list individual collections--in selected bibliographies and biographies.
Since many Black poets publish privately or with small and
relatively unknown publishing houses, the student will want
to examine listings and reviews in Black periodicals (Black
World, Journal of Black Poetry, Freedomways, Black Books
Bulletin, Black Creation, CLA Journal and others).

Some

Black publishing houses print title listings on the inside
covers of their books.

Scores of records and t pes of

readings, films, broadsides (single poems), pamphlet publicati ns and tracts are also available from individuals or
small publishing houses.

Recently, such large recording

companies as Folkways, Flying Dutchman and MoTown have
begun to record and distribute Black Poetry.

However, the

task of locating and developing a checklist for the myriad
publications and publishing activities of Black poets still
awaits some serious student ot Black literature.

For con-

venience, a list of Black publishing companies is included
at the end of this bibliography.
