Reviews
The mind, the lore, and the legacy of Sterling A. Brown emerge in robust voices in After Winter. Brown's bold intellectualism and rich cultural style inspired the essays that John Edgar Tidwell and Steven C. Tracy meticulously collected here, and Brown's blues spirit quickens each page. * Joanne V. Gabbin, author of Sterling A. Brown: Building the Black Aesthetic Tradition *
