Timber and Prayer: The Indian Pond Poems (Pitt Poetry Series)
by Afaa Michael Weaver

"Weaver’s life studies and lyrics are imbued with a vivid sense of language, a vivid sense of the world, a vivid sense of their inseparability. And his tonal range—from unabashed passion to the subtlest velleity—is impressive indeed. This is a singular talent."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
