- Summary:
- The Furious Flower Conference of 1994 represented the largest gathering of African American writers at one event in nearly thirty years. In anticipation of the 2004 Conference, Joanne V. Gabbin has assembled a remarkable selection of works by the Furious Flower participants. The forty-six poets cover three generations, ranging from such established voices as Nikki Giovanni and the late Gwendolyn Brooks to a host of rising young writers who are reimagining America in the language of a hip-hop nation.
