Description:
Poet Opal Palmer Adisa interviews writer/poet Wanda Coleman, author of Mad Dog, Black Lady, African Sleeping Sickness and Hand Dance, among other books. Coleman discusses when she found her poetic voice, talks about the function of poetry, her personal encounters with anti-Black discrimination, and about the reluctance of white liberals to discuss issues that affect the Black community. She also talks about the plight of the African American community in South Central Los Angeles. The poems Coleman reads are A civilized plague, David Polion, Notes of a cultural terrorist and Jazz wazz.

Audio file QC (Pass One) notes:
This may be 1991. They speak about LAPD gearing up for another riot (referring to WATTS 1965) upon the announcement of the verdict...talking about Rodney King.

Second Level Cataloging Notes and Issues:
Around 34 minutes into recording Coleman alludes to it being 1993, so this is definitely out of date scope.
