In this handbook, four authors write on the same topics but with varying emphases. Gwendolyn Brooks sketches the background of Afro-American poetry and offers practical hints and exercises for writing. Keorapatse Kgositsile discusses the role and situation of the black writer. Haki R. Madhubuti (Don L. Lee) explains an author's commitment and discusses the use of words, metaphors, symbols, and characters. Dudley Randall analyzes the syntactical and rhythmical structure of verse and gives suggestions on marketing. The book includes lists of books and articles for background and technique, answers to questions asked by beginning writers, and work sheets showing the growth of a poem.

“Aneb Kgositsile’s poems remind me of the physical language of the Alvin Ailey Dancers. Her poems evoke the same Black elegance, fearlessness and clarity as they sweep across the senses rendering the reader helpless to resist the beauty of truth, its teaching pain and healing pleasure.” --Michael Simanga
