Maxwell -- Jamaican periodical poetry, 1911-12 -- Songs of Jamaica (1912) -- Constab ballads (1912) -- Early English and American poetry, 1916-22 -- Harlem shadows (1922) -- The Clinic, circa 1923 -- The years between, 1925-34 -- Cities, circa 1934 -- The cycle, circa 1943 -- Final Catholic poetry, 1945-47. 330 8 $aContaining more than three hundred poems, including nearly a hundred previously unpublished works, this unique collection showcases the intellectual range of Claude McKay (1889-1948), the Jamaican-born poet and novelist whose life and work were marked by restless travel and steadfast social protest. McKay's first poems were composed in rural Jamaican creole and launched his lifelong commitment to representing everyday black culture from the bottom up. Migrating to New York, he reinvigorated the English sonnet and helped spark the Harlem Renaissance with poems such as "If We Must Die." After coming under scrutiny for his communism, he traveled throughout Europe and North Africa for twelve years and returned to Harlem in 1934, having denounced Stalin's Soviet Union. By then, McKay's pristine "violent sonnets" were giving way to confessional lyrics informed by his newfound Catholicism. McKay's verse eludes easy definition, yet this complete anthology, vividly introduced and carefully annotated by William J. Maxwell, acquaints readers with the full transnational evolution of a major voice in twentieth-century poetry. 410 0$aAmerican Poetry Recovery 606 $aJamaican Americans$vPoetry 606 $aBlack people$vPoetry 607 $aHarlem (New York, N.Y.)$vPoetry 607 $aJamaica$vPoetry 615 0$aJamaican Americans 615 0$aBlack people 676 $a811/.52 700 $aMcKay$b Claude$f1890-1948.$01000104 701 $aMaxwell$b William J$c(College teacher)$01831673 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970791003321 996 $aComplete poems$94404440 997 $aUNINA
