Night Watch - Kevin Young

A haunting poetry collection about community, nationhood, and resilience.A richly evocative and moving collection about African American identity and history, this is an ode to home places and the dearly departed, and to what of them - of us - poetry can save.In bellowing declarations of suffering and whispered prayers of faith, Night Watch speaks to an inner history which is compelling, authentic, and deeply American, rippling with timely and devastating truths about the insidious nature of the American nation.
