But the over-ricting thesis is that the new poetry cannot be understood unless it is seen against the long tradition of Black writing Rnd culture in general. Of all the cultural components, poetry is the most popular and the one most often used to convey the diverse messages and emotions. And a handy guide to Black Poetry-in vi ew of the countless anthologies and single collections, and high interest in the subject--is top priority among teachers, stud- . ents, drama people and casual readers/lovers of poetry. �DRUMVOICINGS: THB MISSION OF BLACK PO E'rRY Tabl e of ~ontents 1.
