Thaddeus Mosley African-American Sculptor Narrative by David Lewis / Photographs by Lonnie Graham "I was profoundly moved by Mr. Lewis's pre- sentation of Mr. Mosley's life and sculptural works. Thaddeus Mosley is a significant American sculptor of African American descent. He has evolved a powerful body of sculptural work through the confluence of his exposure to traditional African sculpture, the works of European art (Brancusi), and the Asian American sculptor Noguchi. Through this process he has become a con- tributor to the African American cultural continuum."-Deborah Willis, Center for African American History and Culture, Smithsonian Institution Cloth $50. 00 I paper $24.95
Language, Rhythm, and Sound Black Popular Cultures into the Twenty-first Century Joseph K Adjaye and Adrianne R. Andrews, Editors "At a time when Black stereotyping is again on the rise, it is imperative that there is a renewed effort to combat and neutralize out- right ignorance and racism. The ideas of Black popular culture have not been articulated or treated seriously in the academy, media, or lit- erature. This book is a very important collec- tion. Its fusion of empirical research with methodological discourse will make it an important reference book for those interested in popular/urban cultures-not just black cultures."-Emmanuel Akyeampong, Department of History, Harvard University Cloth $45. 00 / paper $19.95
From the Pitt Poetry Series In Every Seam Allison Joseph "The vividly rendered ghetto neighborhoods of In Every Seam unfold before us, showing us how the young are taught over and over that the glittering, sparkling, dazzling things of the world are beyond their grasp. But Joseph, a survivor of these neighborhoods, brilliantly disproves these lessons. In Every Seam is literally a triumph."-Maura Stanton Cloth $25. 00 / paper $12.95

Tender Toi Derricotte "Toi Derricotte's poems show us our under- life, tender and dreadful. And they are vibrant poems, poems in the voice of the living creature, the one who escaped-and paused, and turned back, and saw, and cried out. This is one of the most beautiful and necessary voices in American poetry today."-Sharon Olds Cloth $25. 00 / paper $12.95
