A Poet's Prose: Selected Writings of Louise Bogan
Once again Alexander proved herself more attuned than most by the very title of her second, and, as the title indicates, very varied collection of prose, which encompasses a plethora of topics and chapters that are multiply instructional as well as generous, giving us personal glimpses into the life and mind of one of our generation's most truly astonishing literary figures. Alexander continues to manage the public spotlight and the private space from which poems spring with dazzling aplomb.
Indeed, POWER AND POSSIBILITY is a key document in what I believe is a great third flowering of African-American poetry, one whose seed was planted by Toi Derricotte and Cornelius Eady through their co-founding of Cave Canem in 1996 and began a special burgeoning in the months leading toward Obama's election, when this book first reached my hands. Â While Alexander is all too familiar with the kind of power that crushes the soul, my own, upon finishing this excellent collection, felt enabled--to steal from the title of her selected poems--to rise toward radiance. As for "possibility," I felt lifted as well, toward what remains and abides, toward redemption and the audacity of hope.
