Ego-Tripping and Other Poems for Young People

This collection of poems for young people beats to the pulse of the Black Arts Movement of the 60's and 70's. There is a sense of pride, of anger and of revolution. This is a powerful reflection of a voice that rang out for the times in which she was living. Her poem "Black Power" creates a sense of power, ready to be unleashed, and her "Poem For My Nephew" is alive with pride in her blackness.
