Brief and pointed.

These poems were brief and pointed. Enjoyed each one. Some caused the urge to rewind and listen again.

Classic!!!

Would you listen to Great African American Literary Voices again? Why?

Yes. I plan on listening to this book many more times. I just wish it was a little clearer, and much more longer. Also, I wish the the book introduced each poet. If I were not familiar with the poems I would not know what I was listening to.

Fascinating

This is a brief collection of fascinating recordings of African American authors. I especially enjoyed the recording of Langston Hughes, who was a great poet. It only takes ten minutes to listen to this and I suspect you will enjoy it. Recommended.
