1) The black Art poem was a poem that really stood out because it shows a feeling of anger overall. What I understood is that poems are not important unless they are talking about the real issues of the society and how he is tired of reading poems about love when so much violence is going on in society. I think this is a political art work because it talking about the conditions and violence of the Black community and the Vietnam War. This poem relates to the kind of art Larry Neal calls for because is talking about the community rather than art that ignores social issues and uses art as beauty and entertainment.

  1. Great, clear overview. What do you think of his argument here? And do you think a poem is an effective way of communicating what art should be?
