Product Description
by M. Jane Roberts (Editor), Orlando J. Addison (Author)
Orlando Addison's newest bi-lingual collection of poems, Afro-Latin Song, seeks a balance between voice and soul, song and rhythm produced by African blood, containing as it does emotional, romantic verses and poems with social commentary. This work introduces a new voice in Honduran and Latin American literature, a voice that represents the growing minority of Afrolatinos on the hemisphere. This second collection of poems reflects Addison's poetic and literary maturity and his commitment to his people, to the Afro Honduran and Afro-Latin communities.
