She wants her language to express anger, to incite anger, and to shake all those who read it out of their complacency. --The Nation -Wanda Coleman: 2012 Winner of the Shelley Memorial Award --Poetry Society of America -She died after a long illness on November 22, 2013 at the age of 67- -Hand Dance - Ethnographs - ethiopian in the fuel supplies - Like Love - George 1990 - Blue Glass - The Heebeegeebees - Confessions Noires - Want Ads - Southwestern Soul - Life as a Cartoon - Creature of Two Worlds - Just Before George Rises - My Daddy Be a Baby - Gone But Not Forgotten - Unfinished Ghost Story 4 - August 29th 1970 - used to be so frank - Mr Walter - Bones - Essay on Language 3 - Dream 2610 - The Umbrellas of TejonLebec - Dream 3232 - Strayhorn - Copyright- --Hand Dance -Author Wanda Coleman-Paperback glued spine- Pub- Black Sparrow Press, 1993 ISBN 0876858973, 9780876858974 - 271 pages- Subjects-Poetry / Regional & Cultural /United States / Literature & Fiction > African American- LAXVespa Los Angeles- see pictures maybe this will do it maybe it won't. you'll know by looking at the pictures - LAX Vespa shipped -United States Post to fulfill your order, Los Angeles I carefully pack your book,hop on my Vespa visit the PO to have it placed in our mail system.. . -Hand Dance 4061 Poetry SB KEN COLE Gry
