'We don't know if he ever died,' Baraka, née Jones, once cracked when asked what he would write for his own epitaph. He cofounded the Black Arts Movement, was a member of the Umbra Poets Workshop alongside Ishmael Reed and Lorenzo Thomas, once threw a party where Allen Ginsberg was introduced to Langston Hughes while Ornette Coleman played saxophone, and due to what Naila Keleta-Mae calls his legacy of 'saying the unsayable', spent much of his decades-long career mired in controversy. 79 pp. Poetry.
