Literature professor Nathaniel Mackey's poetry has been included in African
American Poets: Lives, Works, and Sources (Greenwood Press, 2002).
The "biocritical" dictionary features 46 poets and includes
a brief biographical sketch for each, a discussion of selected poems,
and reference material for each entry.
This reference volume is introduced with an overview of the significant
developments and contributions in African American poetry, from the 18th-century
poetry of Phillis Wheatley, through the major arts movements including
the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts Movements of the 1960s, up to
the present time.
