Central to the movement were its poets, who in concert with editors, visual artists, critics, and fellow writers published a wide range of black verse and advanced new theories and critical approaches for understanding African American literary art. The Black Arts Enterprise and the Production of African American Poetry offers a close examination of the literary culture in which BAM's poets (including Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Larry Neal, Haki Madhubuti, Carolyn Rodgers, and others) operated and of the small presses and literary anthologies that first published the movement's authors Analysis Literature Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-184) and index Notes This work is licensed under a Creative Commons license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode English Print version record; resource not viewed Subject American poetry -- African American authors -- History and criticism Poetry -- Publishing -- United States -- History -- 20th century African Americans -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Black Arts movement.
