"Reading this book is like sitting down to a plate of collard greens
with
chopped-up onions and tomatoes and a little touch of wine vinegar. A
mouth-watering piece of hot-water cornbread. A lean mean piece of short
rib.
And you know it's only going to get better because there is a sumptuous
banana pudding bringing up the rear..Smack those lipes. Rub them hands.
Say
the blessing and get ready to feast!"
-Umar Bin Hassan, The Last Poets
