Nothing superfluous, nothing lacking. William Hazlitt's highest praise for good prose can justly be applied to the poetry of Robert Hayden.

Angle of Ascent Summary

Angle of Ascent: New and Selected Poems by Robert Hayden

In his new poems, as before, but with a new mixture of modes, Hayden takes up, celebrates, and contends with the history of his people. He is involved with his Black Americanness, without being confined by it. The famous story elements can be found here but above all a renewed delight in the revelatory possibilities of the languages. In addition to the new poems, all the best of Hayden's earlier work is here, including much that has for too long been unavailable.
