Unadorned and Unafraid
This Pulitzer Prize winning collection of
poetry
is a document to the power diversity of the best African-American poet to come along in the post-modern (after WWII) period. Komunyakaa, who appeared this past fall as part of the Lenoir-Rhyne College Writers Series, is at his best when writing about jazz, his relationships with other family members and his Vietnam experience. The passages are often chilling and direct, unadorned yet filled with perfect word choices.
