Elizabeth Alexander is an incredible poet. This collection aptly reflects her ability to layer multiple messages in relatively brief prose. It is a pleasure to read!

I was unfamiliar with Elizabeth Alexander until I heard her recitation at President Obama's inauguration.  The delivery won me over, the cadence, words and the way Ms. Alexander looked into the audience as she spoke.  Having just read her collection, "American Sublime," I am now an official fan.These poems are divided into four sections, I. American Blue, II. Ars Poetica, III. Amistad, and IV. American Sublime.  Subjects are historical, experiential, thoughtful, illuminating and expressive in an assemblage of words which are sometimes so simple that it's hard to believe such a strong emotion is elicited.  On the page, the ink is balanced.From Ars Poetica #100: I Believe:"Poetry is what you findin the dirt in the corner,overhear on the bus, Godin the details, the only wayto get from here to there.Poetry (and now my voice is rising)is not all love, love, love,and I'm sorry the dog died.Poetry (here I hear myself loudest)is the human voice,and are we not of interest to each other?"These poems are Afro-American or African stories, but the instincts transcend our universal experiences.  Read these and you will both learn and feel.
