Douglas is an essential poet just as his publisher's logo exclaims, for he's able to wrangle pure anger into pure poetry.... The fiery African-American poet Amiri Baraka is dead? No his spirit could drive Douglas's howls against the glib appeal of multiculturalism, so silent about anti- black, anti-native racism. But Douglas is sick of hypocritical cries of racial unity that exclude gay black men.
