Many of the poems were written during the turbulent sixties when, like many Black poets, Perkins was inspired by the Black Arts Movement. These poems are intended to raise the consciousness of readers to stand firm against the tyranny of racial strife and injustice. Most of these poems are fundamentally political, yet also convey some insight about the human condition. |
