Black Brown and Beige : Surrealist Writings from Africa and the Diaspora

I have 2 prose poems included in this landmark anthology, which was probably the late great Franklin Rosemont's final testament. Its an incredible collection of surrealist writings from the Caribbean and the entire African Diaspora. Essential reading if ever there was.
