Sobre este artículo
Lexington:: University Press of Kentucky,, (2004). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in a good dust jacket (long tape repaired tear and small chip to back cover of dj) . First printing. Uncommon hardcover edition of this work in which Walker "blurs the lines between poetry, fiction, and history to tell the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition from the point of view of Clarks slave, York, the first African American to traverse the continent. These poems vividly present the intricacies of Yorks personality and form a narrative of his saga - a physical journey from the plantation to the great northwest and a spiritual journey from a humble servant to a man yearning for fulfillment and freedom. York bears the burden of heavy labor as the expedition travels hundreds of miles of waterways in search of a Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, York empathizes with the Native Americans he encounters and joins them in mourning his masters' dominion over the land and their misuse of the Earths riches." INSCRIBED on the half title page and dated in the year of publication. The third book in the Kentucky Voices series. 71 pp.
