Images of Kin

"Harper's poetry is not limited by color or attitude. In Images

of Kin, Harper amazes with his keen sense of political and personal

histories, his breadth of expression. This collection fixes Harper as

one of the dominant poetic voices of his generation"

-- Chicago Sun-Times

"It is Mr. Harper's achievement to have projected his most difficult

and complex insights and feelings through the epical manner, yet at the

same time carried us along to identify with him."

-- New York Times Book Review
