Notes

General Note
"The poems in [this book] were first published in slightly different form under the title Ancostia suite (13 ways of looking at a black boy) in Revise the Psalm: work celebrating the writing of Gwendolyn Brooks ... (Curbside Splendor, 2017)"--Title page verso.
Description
A fresh perspective of young men of color depicting thirteen views of everyday life: young boys dressed in their Sunday best, running to catch a bus, and growing up to be teachers, and much more. Each of Tony Medina's tanka is matched with a different artist including recent Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Award recipients.
