Summary

"Harlem, 1969. The air is charged with hope and revolution; the Black Panthers are in their prime. This is the backdrop against which The Last Poets wrote their passionate, self-critical poetry. Widely known as the progenitors of hip hop, this legendary collective fought, strayed, and ultimately found each other again through the legacy of their own work. Christine Otten describes their youth in the ghetto, their love lives, and their triumphs and struggles in this beautifully written, sensuously swinging, biopic-style novel."--Back cover
