While anthologized poems by African Americans have always been indexed by Granger's®, the great increase in interest by the general public and the growing number of African American Studies courses have led to the creation of a Granger's® index devoted exclusively to poetry by African Americans.
To compile this Index to African-American Poetry, a team of consultants sought to identify the best, most widely available volumes of poetry by African Americans. The results of their search: 33 anthologies and 32 volumes of collected and selected works.
Like all Granger's® indexes, this newest index is easy to use. The Title, First Line, and Last Line index is arranged alphabetically. The Author Index is arranged alphabetically by poet and, under each name, by poem title. In the Subject Index, authors and their works are listed alphabetically under each subject heading.
It is the fastest, most reliable way to answer such questions as:
•What are the best anthologies of African-American poetry?
•What have African-American poets written about such highly charged issues as religion? politics? patriotism? slavery? racism? money? sex? What have they written about Harlem? the civil-rights movement? Martin Luther King Jr.?
•What did Audre Lorde write about grief? How often?
•Who wrote the poem "Madam and the Rent Man," and where can it be found?

The Columbia Granger's index to African-American poetry
Lawrence, an important twentieth century American artist inspired by Cubism and African American history, is another great American artist primarily known for his work for adults who has translated his work in an interested and dynamic way for young readers. Following the life of Harriet Tubman, whom Lawrence ranks as one of many "remarkable" women he would like to pay tribute to. He explains in his introduction that his mother, his wife Gwen and Tubman, "have contributed much to making it possible for me to develop, to live, to grow, and to fully appreciate the challenges and the beauty of life in general; and to express through the elements of color, line, texture, shape, and value the wisdom of almighty God" (1992). This vivid biography follows Harriet from when she is born to the commands she is given as an enslaved child ("Harriet, clean;/ Harriet, sweep, / Harriet, rock / The child to sleep" to her transition to a leader who followed the North Star and lead herself and fellow enslaved peoples to freedom. The images are mesmerizing and bold, offering a unique counterpoint to many of the barbaric representations of African Americans from the late nineteenth century.
