James Baldwin: Early Novels & Stories: Go Tell It on the Mountain / Giovanni's R

BuckyWorks

During his lifetime, James Baldwin authored seven novels, as well as several plays and essay collections, many of which were published to wide-spread praise. Baldwin's novels and essays brought him respect as a public intellectual and admiration as a writer. However, Baldwin's earliest writing was in poetic form, and some argue that even Baldwin considered himself a poet first and foremost. One can see this inclination in the poetic rhythms of his prose. Nonetheless, his single book of poetry Jimmy's Blues, which was published in 1983 only a few short years before his death in 1987, never attracted the spotlight as much as his novels and non-fiction did.

This collection will include the 19 poems from Jimmy's Blues as well as six poems from a limited edition book called Gypsy, of which only 325 copies were ever published. Baldwin is known for his relentless honesty and startlingly prophetic insights on issues of race, gender, class, and poverty, and he is just as enlightening and bold in his poetry. This collection will present and celebrate James Baldwin the poet and master of many literary forms.

In June 1979, the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin embarked on a project to tell the story of America through the lives of three of his murdered friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. He died before it could be completed. In his documentary film, I Am Not Your Negro, Raoul Peck imagines the book Baldwin never wrote, using his original words to create a radical, powerful and poetic work on race in the United States - then, and today.
