Smith, Toi Derricotte, Joshua B. Bennett, Taylor Johnson, and Tara Betts. It organizes the poems by six themes that reflect those explored at the conference, namely collective power, black aesthetics, pan-African poetics, renovation, writing the body, and the collective, with essays introducing each section, on topics like major developments in African American poetry, how issues of black aesthetics can generate black experimentalism, how aesthetics and politics of renovation are key to understanding black poetry, and queerness and gender identities in black poetry.
