Description



About the Book



"Masked Man, black is the latest poetry collection by by iconic poet Frank X Walker. The poems in this new collection pack the immediacy and gravity of letters from the trenches of a war. What is at stake here is our humanity, dignity, way of life, our relationship to the truth. Read this book, let's have a conversation"--Provided by publisher



Book Synopsis



"We all wear masks. There are people with whom we can take our masks off and speak from the heart. Professor Walker is an expert in masks, or personas. And he well knows that sometimes masks let us speak deep truths about the world. He also knows masks sometimes protect us, sometimes keep us from ourselves, and sometimes cause us pain. Paul Dunbar, in "We Wear the Mask," asks of the world and of poetry, "Why should the world be over-wise, / In counting all our tears and sighs?" Yet, it seems that now, as then, the world pays too little attention to the tears and sighs about which Dunbar sings. We are so grateful that Walker has taken the time to sit with death and pain and heartbreak, to sit and tune his voice to sing these elegies, so that we can gather around him to sing through our tears with head held high. " -Jeremy Paden
