Poetry. African American Studies. Available again. California Poet Laureate, Al Young is also a novelist and essayist. He is the recipient of NEA, Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellowships, as well as the PEN/Library of Congress Award for Short Fiction and the PEN/USA Award for Non-Fiction. "Al Young's THE SOUND OF DREAMS invites readers to travel the depth and breadth of his bountiful imagination. There is a deep singing inside of Al Young's poetry, with a hint of Ocean Springs beneath a distilled signifying in the hands of a master code switcher. This seasoned voice knows the music and folklore, the history and lingo, and each poem, with an almost sacred sincerity, take us multiple dimensions in a single breath" --- Yusef KomunyakaA.
