>>155266not really, tupac was a great rapper, but poetry is different than rap.
>>154959Audre Lorde--good essays, not too bad poetry iirc.Not to mention she was a lesbian black feminist.And /signed on Toni Morrison. Read an interview of someone who asked her how she wrote. In her response, Morrison went into close analysis of the first few sentences of "Paradise." Three paragraphs later...Oprah's Book Club be damned, this woman can write.
An underrated classic. Seek it out if you haven't read it.
Jean Toomer.
Alice Walker

Octavia Butler
I seriously cannot recall any book written by a black person I might have read. No troll.
>>156929Read "Their Eyes Were Watching God"
It's good to see that /lit/ isn't totally racist
Toni Morrison. Beloved is one of the best American novels I've ever read.
No Richard Wright?/lit/ I am dissapoint
I loved the Autobiography of Malcom X. Does that count?
Since a lot of /lit/ favors sci-fi, I'll throw this one out there:The Coyote Kings of the Space Age Bachelor Padby Minister Faust.It's a pretty good, if not overly ambitious first novel from a black author. Best name ever too.
>>157719Really? I hated A Mercy W.E.B Du Bois is fucking incredible.
