Overview

Lift every voice and sing. These fifty-four poems, all in different voices but written by one hand, do sing. They make a joyful noise as the author honors the people -- the nurses, students, soldier, and ministers -- of his beloved hometown, Harlem. Worship with Deacon Allen, who loves a shouting church. Don't get taken by Sweet Sam DuPree, who conned a shark right outta his fin. And never turn your back on Delia Pierce, who claims she ain't the kind to talk behind nobody's back while doing precisely that -- with panache. Inspired by Edgar Lee Masters Spoon River Anthology, Walter Dean Myers celebrates the voices and aspirations of the residents of Harlem.
