Title: Waiting for sweet Betty
First published: 2002
Description: "An accomplished painter as well as a singularly gifted poet, Clarence Major has said that he writes what he cannot paint. With a painter's eye and an ear for the nuances of daily speech, his new poems explore subtle exchanges, juxtaposing one shifting perspective with another. Major's poems look deeply into the very process of making art, into the imagination and the heart of its creation, and in Waiting for Sweet Betty they reveal a celebrated poet writing at the height of his powers."--BOOK JACKET.
Subjects: American poetry, African American authors, Poetry (poetic works by one author)
