In 1968, at age 33, Henry Dumas was murdered by police in Harlem. Toni Morrison said his writing was “some of the most beautiful, moving and profound poetry and fiction that I have ever in my life read.”
This is also about generations of lost potential. These poems can be found in ‘Knees of a Natural Man’
