Description: Celebrating a career that spans four decades, Eugene B. Redmond's collected work--Arkansippi Memwars--triumphs. An award-winning poet, playwright and educator, Redmond represents through his body of work the veracity and audacity of the Black Arts Movement, the traditions of the Yoruba, and the complex history of the Black American. The poetry of Redmond moves to the cadence of drums stripped from his ancestors and reclaimed by the burgeoning Hip-Hop movement of the 1970s. Fearless, sharp, and satirically masterful are but a few words to describe the excellence of Eugene Redmond and his poetry. Redmond chronicles, through verse interactions, all manner of remembrances and historical milestones. With the wide vision of an ambassador-extraordinaire, he shares the personal/other voice of the African American experience.
