Summary:

"Celebrating a career that spans five decades, Eugene B. Redmond's collected work, Arkansippi Memwars, is a triumph. His body of work presents the veracity and audacity of the Black Arts Movement, the traditions of the Yoruba, and the complex history of the Black American. Redmond's poetry moves to the cadence of drums stripped from his ancestors and reclaimed by the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s and the burgeoning Hip-Hop movement of the 1980s. Fearless, sharp, and satirically masterful are but a few words to describe the excellence of Eugene Redmond and his poetry."--Page 4 of cover.
