As a direct descendent of the Black Arts Movement and last student of Miss Gwendolyn Brooks, Lansana explores the complicated internal and external terrain of Blackness and history from a post-King, post-Kennedy childhood through the election of the first non-White president, while grappling with the definition of home. These are poems that cry, sing, scream and see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quraysh Ali Lansana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1733647406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733647403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calliope Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Quraysh Ali Lansana","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043961630975,"sku":"9781733647403","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90c4e9a9-b695-4a70-8c01-97ad671267a5.jpg?v=1684970114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-skin-of-dreams-quraysh-ali-lansana-9781733647403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
