Ishmael Reed
What will be the legacy of the Black Arts Movement?
"During the usual Umbra meetings, writers read their work and the rest of us commented. Sometimes the comments were harsh, based on both political differences and aesthetic ones. Joe Johnson—who would later become my partner in the publishing company."

ISHMAEL REED
Points of View
The pioneers and the indians
disagree about a lot of things
for example, the pioneer says that
when you meet a bear in the woods
you should yell at him and if that
doesn't work, you should fell him
The indians say that you should
whisper to him softly and call him by
loving nicknames
No one's bothered to ask the bear
what he thinks.

Here's a great New Yorker profile on Ishmael Reed: "For half a century, he’s been American literature’s most fearless satirist, waging a cultural forever war against the media that spans a dozen novels, nine plays and essay collections, and hundreds of poems, one of which, written in anticipation of his thirty-fifth birthday, is a prayer to stay petty."

"Quando gli chiedono dell'influenza di scrittori sperimentali come William S. Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut o John Barth, Reed risponde: <<Se proprio volete paragonarmi con qualcuno, dovete farlo con Charlie Mingus o Charlie Parker>>.
