Under the African Air

Charles Hood's sixth book explores the beauty and tragedy of African from the churches of Ethiopia to the markets of Senegal to the reed-lined banks of the Okavango River. Enhanced by the exquisite line art of Bruce Bartug's drawings, these poems capture fugitive voices and divine moments, looking for--and finding--nobility in a history of the common place.
