The Ringing Ear: Black Poets Lean South
Edited by Nikky Finney
The University of Georgia Press, 2007
The Ringing Ear collects the work of 103 established and emerging African American poets. It is the first anthology of its kind focusing on what Marilyn Hacker has called “‘the magnetic South,’ vexed and compelling as it is in the Black American imagination.”
“This is a distinctly southern book, a distinctly Black book, a distinctly American book—it is all these things and more.” —Kwame Dawes
